    I can absolutely tell you why Dolan believes Lebron will earn more in New York.

    Dolan owns the basketball team in New York.

      Um, no. Not even close. Just because you're in finance doesn't mean you're one of the jackasses on Wall Street/in big banking that's cheating, screwing over their employees and giving themselves golden parachutes. I can assure you that no Wall Street CEO's were consulted for that research.

        Never understood why people have such an infatuation with that...
        We're infatuated with whatever the player is infatuated with if it's a factor in his decision making. If LeBron says he wants to be a billionaire and one team is trying to persuade him with info that suggests he's more likely to achieve that goal here rather than elsewhere...well they're doing their due diligence.

        As far as people around the internet proclaiming that they have more knowledge than the business specialists who come up with these figures...that's a mystery. I don't know how anyone who doesn't work at Interbrand, or any consulting firm for that matter, can refute the claims they've made. One party is the specialist in this particular field, the other party is some dude on the internet. Kind of an uneven fight.

        And while I agree with King_Mack that it's not a perfect science, the economy isn't solely in this position because of people misjudging markets. Greed has to factor in there too. I'm sure banks knew when they were issuing mortgages with ridiculous interest rates to people who couldn't afford them, they just didn't really give a ****.

            It's pointless. No one knows how accurate the report is. You cannot prove it one way or the other.

              Which is really what all the Knicks fans in this thread have said. That the people who know about this stuff have mixed feelings. It's the non Knicks fans who have tried to act like they know that New York won't make him more money.

                Perhaps.

                I still don't know why NYC would somehow equal an extra $300 million, but I'm also neither an economist or a businessman.

                  So the Knicks could get arguably the best player in the league and a top 5 PF and not make the playoffs? What? lol

                  The same guy who took the Cavs to the finals with Eric Snow at point couldn't get the Knicks to the playoffs with Bosh/Amare?

                    If all Lebron cares about is being a billionaire then I don't want him here anyway.

                          According to http://lebronjames.com/ it's the bulls.

                          Can't blame him, who wouldn't want to play with Derrick Rose? Best PG for the next 10 years.

                          With their hang times combined, we'll see double alley oops and unstoppable air time.

                            Where on there does it say anything about Lebron signing with the Bulls?

                              Where did you get that from? I signed up and everything and all there is is a pic of LeBron that says "Something's Coming". Yeah, no kidding....
