This entire scene has lit up the eyes of King James, who is now set on becoming the first athlete billionaire. To make it, he's going to have to focus a good majority of attention to Asia.
The billion dollar per year industry is exploding in Asia. Retailers are sprouting up all over China. What does King James think about all this? In a recent interview, he said, "I say all the time, and I tell my friends and teammates, that you have to go global in basketball and business." Whether it's just pie in the sky talk or not, LeBron James seems very intent on trying to accomplish this goal.

They are working hard to increase LeBron's exposure before next year's Olympics in Beijing. Now you know why LeBron was so eager to join the Olympic basketball team. It was good for his business. What about Patriotism?
When asked about why he joined the team, Lebron James said, "It is only going to help my business. Once I knew the world games were going to be in Japan, I knew I was going to be on board." Rebook-Adidas is not sitting back and watching. They have their main weapon for Asia?Yao Ming. The playing field is just starting to heat up.
