Despite Billionaire Fortune, LeBron James Allegedly Resorts to Illegal Means for Enjoy What He Loves Most

There are only 2 NBA billionaires in history. The first was Michael Jordan. Following suit came LeBron James. During his illustrious 21-year career, the King has accumulated enough fortune to feed multiple generations. He has his own sneaker line, a production company, and other ventures feeding money into his near-endless supply of resources. Yet, he refuses to pay $14.99 a month.

Pushed into an early offseason, James went to relish a local basketball game. With the best time of the season in motion, the Akron Hammer decided to dual-task. With a laptop screen in front, he simultaneously watched the series between the Dallas Mavericks and Minnesota Timberwolves. Unfortunately, a fan angle caught him using allegedly Stream East, a popular illegal streaming website.

To put into further context, the NBA league pass costs only $14.99 a month or $90 dollars for the entire season. This season, LeBron James made $47 million, the third highest in the NBA. That’s six figures for every game. Moreover, his off-court earnings surpassed the ludicrous salary, making in excess of $70 million. Even then, he shows reluctance to purchase the NBA league pass or any other streaming subscription available to watch the postseason.

Of course, fans almost instantly jumped to mock the NBA legend. He is yet to respond to the video or make a comment on the same.

LeBron James has always been cheap?

Back in 2016, he and Dwyane Wade sat down for an interview. The interviewer raised the question for both – who is the cheapest guy in the NBA? The Flash was as fast to respond as his spin move. “Oh, LeBron. He’s a good tipper, but he won’t use his cellphone without WiFi signals. This is no joke. He sends me a text before he leaves for the boat, because there won’t be no WiFi signal out there”.

Months later, the two best friends had an interview with Rachel Nichols. James was confronted with Wade’s past comments about him. He tried to play it off, ultimately though, LeBron James admitted to his various behaviors to avoid spending money. “That is so falsely true. I’m not turning on data roaming. I’m not buying no apps. I still got Pandora with commercials”, he said while laughing together with D-Wade.
