This is Lebron James' $171,000 bill after a night out at the bar
- Thread starter Brawndo
- Start date
$9 for Bud Light? Did it come in a solid gold bottle or something? This bar sounds really expensive.
Anyway, this is a fairly common occurance. [insert sport stars name] goes to bar (possibly with their teammates, possibly not) and proceed to spend the same amount of money in one night, as it would tke the average person about 2-3 years to even earn. But it is the public and the advertisers that put money in the athletes back pocket, and, while I don't agree with it, the athlete can spend it how they please. Still can't get over the Bud light though...

Woooo, throwing a ball back and forth is right up there with saving people from bullets to the face and spending your youth learning how to do that... Hilarious, I feel sorry for doctors, if they spent half as much time as they did studying and doing schooling working out and training their bodies they could probably be making the same amount of money, possibly more, playing games, and then not have the stress of being called in for an emergency allowing them to actually go to these kind of parties >_>.
I wish we were all so lucky that we could spend a years earnings in a single night with a job playing games...

Last summer he decided to have an hour long special on national television to announce which team he's going to play for. Pretty egotistical way to do it, but he justified that the money he makes from that one hour show would go to charity.TheRealCJ said:
Anyways, it resulted in humiliating the fans of his former team (also his home town).
The issue could be that if he can spend 100k all in one night, he could've also opened up his checkbook to donate without having his national tv hour.
Damn!!! you see the price for that freaking red bullEaston Dark said:

grey goose vodka $109
Bar grey goose vodka $925 WTF!!!
I could buy so much more alcohol with the same money...just because your bubbly comes from a specific region in France doesn't mean it's bottled God urine. These are so much more awesome: http://www.asylum.com/2010/07/22/its-the-worlds-strongest-most-expensive-beer-inside-a-squi/ haha
I could put myself though collage and be and officer in the air force with what he spentgyroscopeboy said:
FTR, he's in the first year of a contract that's technically a year and a few million short of the highest contract a player can be offered under the soon-to-be-obsolete collective bargaining agreement, so his actual job is paying tens of millions a season and he's set for another four or five after this year, let alone the endorsements that collectively pay several times his nba contract. He also has a pretty infamous group of friends that are there for the ride, so he's one of the most likely major sports star candidates to pick up a monster bill like this.
As far as whether or not he deserves to be making that kind of money, a rich dude's signing his paychecks because he's a moneymaker, and his team's still in the playoffs, which they definitely wouldn't have managed with Wade, Bosh, and whoever they managed to sign after The Decision. That said, the actual sports fans aren't going to like to hear this because LeBron's still considered a once-in-a-generation talent and he doesn't have a ring yet, plus they just got pasted against the Bulls after everyone had said the Heat partied too hard after beating the Celtics in round 2. No one close to any major American sports franchise expects to get out of paying the star, but in James's case he's expected to be the best and win it all.

lol at the people bitching about how much professional athletes make. They make that much because it's 1000 times easier to be a doctor than play in any pro sport. Nobody wants to go see a bunch of MIT grads play a game of horse, they want to see 6'8 giants who can run like reindeer and jump 5 feet off the ground. If it was so easy then everyone would be doing it.
Think about each sport as a business corporation. The more successful the company is, the more money it generates through its system. That money is put to use on the business' employees and back into the business overall.
I'm also loling hard at the Heat getting rolled. A Bulls/Thunder championship would be amazing.

This is why I laugh when I hear about how so many athletes are broke after their careers are over, their crying is simply delicious.
They make more in a year than most people will make in a lifetime.
Morons.

I personally don't hate him. and he can spend his money however he likes. but what I meant to emphasize was how he made his career choice.TheRealCJ said:
if the result was his fans burning his jerseys, his merchandise, renting out a billboard to emphasize how much the city hates him... something clearly went wrong.. even with the guy with huge ego wanting fame and fortune..
