He is an American basketball player who plays for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). His position is forward/center. He debuted with the Cleveland Cavaliers on February 21st, 2004 and played there until 2010, when he joined the Miami Heat. In 2011, he returned to the Cavaliers, where he won his first championship. In 2017, he left the Cavaliers for the Los Angeles Lakers; however, he signed with the team again in 2018 after it became clear that he would not be able to play for any other team during the 2019 season due to the "LeBron Rule" implemented by the league in order to prevent one star player from dominating the market. As far as earnings are concerned, it is estimated that James earns about $50 million per year. However, this estimate does not include sales from his merchandise or licensing deals which can bring in much more money.
