(ONNsports) -- A new report released today is making the case for a possible Lebron James move to Europe. Worth an estimated $50 million per-year, the amount stated it would take to consider such a move, James would instantly become a world-wide superstar.
Its not far-fetched to think that an NBA player would skip the league to pursue larger payouts overseas. Take for example, 1st-round draft pick, Josh Childress who was reportedly offered $30 million to play in Greece.
In the report Lebron James has already been contacted by two European teams, who are interested in his talents for their market. This comes as James has recently entertained the idea of moving to a new NBA team for a better contract.
No doubt this would be huge for Lebron, but it would be disastrous for the NBA. It could spark a new age in professional American sports. One that would open up to salary caps for teams to compete with an ever increasing European market, that's willing to pay top-dollar for America's premier athletes.
We did it with Beckham, why can't they?
