Lebron James
LEBRON JAMES HAS come to terms with the Los Angeles Lakers on a mammoth contract extension which will make him the highest-earning player in NBA history.
The 37-year-old’s management agency, Klutch Sports Group, said the two-year extension was worth $97.1million dollars (€95.5m).
In a post on Twitter, Klutch’s official account said: “Congrats @KingJames on your 2 year 97.1M dollar extension and becoming the highest paid player in the history of the NBA!”
The extension will take James’s career guaranteed earnings past Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant to 532million dollars (£441.6million).
