      I mean I doubt many of them are amateurs from an ardor for the purity of the competition, they’re amateurs because they’re the best in sports no one makes a living from. That’s admirable, but it’s not LBJ’s fault he does something worth money.

    There’s no such thing as a self-made billionaire. Lebron does not live in a bubble. None of his accomplishments have been achieved without the help of many others. He’d be the first to tell you this.

    I reject the premise of this article.
