LeBron James lands $90M Nike deal.

LeBron is not stupid. He's not going to put forth full full effort just because he has $90M. LeBron knows there's more to this than just money. There's a lot of LeBron haters out there and some are hoping he will be a failure. LeBron is out to prove them wrong.

I have no doubt that Lebron has natural ability (he has proven that already, and has an enormous amount of potential). However, I am afraid that he will either succumb to the allure of easy money and a fast lifestyle, which is usually a very fast ticket down the drain, or, because he has essentially had everything handed to him, he might develope a Shaq style attitude and loss of drive and will to constantly do better.

I think the whole make-more-money-you-wont-play-to-potential thing is just BS.

And Shaq is just an idiot. The money will probably make LeBron play even more harder.
