Dwyane Wade roasts LeBron James for being 'cheap'
The Chicago Bulls' newest superstar Dwyane Wade joined Live With Kelly Thursday morning to discuss his decision to leave Miami and reveal that he lost 10 pounds by sweating his career move over the last week. During a backstage chat with Kelly Ripa, Wade also opened up on his vacation with close friends Chris Paul and LeBron James. Ripa asked a great question about his friends ("Who is the cheapest one?"), and Wade has a hilarious (and instant) answer.

Decent rundown of everything. For those that don't need the full hour, skip to 37:25 and just re-watch the finals.
Still just...unbelievable. Greatest attribute and sign of greatness of LeBron is the leadership. I don't know how he got humans, facing what was virtually impossible and by all previous accounts a failing proposition, to buy into believing they could do it.
Still gives me chills.

AND he did it against the biggest group of cockmouths I've ever despised in NBA history. Forever thankful.

Sources: LeBron James tells Cavs he will re-sign with them
LeBron James has informed the Cleveland Cavaliers he will re-sign with the reigning NBA champions this summer but still has no timetable for negotiating or signing a deal, sources told ESPN.
Under league rules, James has several contract choices. He can sign for up to $27.5 million next season on a one-year deal -- as he has done the past two summers -- or sign a multiyear deal that could make him the league's highest-paid player at $30.8 million for next season.

Nice gesture on Lebron's part:
LeBron James gave the entire Cleveland Indians team custom Beats headphones before Game 1 of the World Series
When the Cleveland Indians arrived at their ballpark before Game 1 of the World Series on Tuesday, a small good-luck gift from noted Indians fan LeBron James was waiting at each of their lockers: custom, wireless Beats by Dre headphones.
James, who netted $30 million when Apple bought Beats by Dre in 2014, couldn't make it to Progressive Field because of a work conflict. Across the parking lot at Quicken Loans Arena, James and the Cavaliers were busy routing the Knicks in their season opener.
After watching the unveiling of the championship banner and receiving his ring, James netted a triple-double (his first in a season opener).
The Indians made sure to say thanks for their gifts via social media. They returned the favor with a signed jersey.

I didn't know this:
1) On May 28, 2014, Apple officially announced its intention to acquire Beats Electronics for US $3 billion—with $400 million to be paid in Apple stock and the remainder in cash.

2) LeBron James' "small stake" in Dr. Dre's headphone company, Beats Electronics, turned into over $30 million when the rap mogul sold his company to Apple.

Neither here nor there observation relating to MJ / LeBron comparison. A couple wks ago Stephen A. & Max were discussing this and that re: LJ & MJ, but failed to mention several differences in their careers.
First let me say the obvious ~ Michael Jordan is arguably the greatest basketball player of all-time.
But in terms of longevity and playin' at a high level at the end of your career this must be taken into consideration re: wear & tear.
LeBron went directly from hs to the NBA so instead of playing 30+ games a year for (3) years in college like MJ did, LeBron was playing an 82 game schedule plus pre-season games against NBA competition. Also MJ was injured his second year missing (64) games. And of course his baseball "vacation" where he missed an entire season '93/'94 and (65) games of '94/'95.
And actually, taking into consideration these missed games it makes MJ's stats all that more impressive, but still a lot less wear and tear on his body.
MJ also played in 179 playoff games. LeBron is currently at 199 and assuming the Cavs make the finals again this year probably add at least another 20 this year:
MJ = 1271 total NBA games finishing his carreer at age 40 and also missing the 1998/1999 ~ 1999/2000 ~ 2000/2001 NBA seasons before finishing up his career w/Washington for two seasons averaging 22.9 and 20 pts. respectively. And yes, averaging 20 pts. at age 40 is pretty damn impressive after another (3) year hiatus.
LeBron after this year, barring injury, will be at approx. 1282 total NBA games and he will be 32 on Dec. 30. So he will have already played more NBA games than MJ at age 32.
>
Re: passing Karreem's all-time scoring record of 38,387, ***if*** LeBron averages 1,900 pts. his next (5) seasons he'll be at 36,333 at age 36.
>
MJ averaged 30.1 pts. in 1,072 regular season games.
Kareem averaged 24.6 pts. in 1,560.
LeBron so far has averaged 27.1 in 1,002.
Kobe averaged 25 in 1,346.
btw, Wilt also averaged 30.1 pts. a game.
>
So re: wear and tear imagine if MJ had gone straight from hs to the NBA and not missed a season to injuries and not have got bored w/basketball missing a couple more years playing baseball and played 'til 40 also missing (3) more seasons before finishing his career w/Washington. Could anyone, even Michael, play 22 straight years in the NBA without skipping a beat.
Yes Virginia MJ was a freak of nature, but LeBron's longevity is also impressive in today's NBA.
>
Kareem said his secret to playing so long was yoga and luck.
I yield back the balance of my time ...
