Why does he want to keep going? He is a competitor at heart. He is driven by championships. LeBron has
somehow managed to defy the aging process. He's still a threat out there. He may be 41,
but he is still playing at a very high level and most any team in the NBA would be thrilled to have
him. He's the NBA's all-time leading point scorer. When he tips off with the Philadelphia 76ers this
season, it'll be a record-extending 24th NBA season. It's remarkable. He has four championships
already on his resume and he clearly wants a fifth one. He wants to go out on top.
According to reports, with this deal that LeBron signed, he's going to be making about $4 million
per season for the next two years, which is down exponentially from what he was making with the
Lakers last year, which was somewhere north of $50 million. The 76ers are getting a discount here for
sure. LeBron is definitely taking a pay cut. To him, the logic is if he takes as much as he
is worth or what he deems himself worth, then it's not going to leave the team much financial
flexibility in terms of rounding out the roster around him. This allows him to join a team that
already has some star players in place and they can be competitive right from the tip-off of the
season.
