James’ agent Rich Paul told CNBC, “It’s breaking down the barriers. You’re talking about a game that was once limited. Jackie Robinson and Roberto Clemente – guys like that people didn’t even want to play the game. The Negros had to have their own league to us now owning and representing in that business sector. It’s a testament to us continuing to evolve and not being complacent.”

LeBron James is not leaving basketball anytime soon. In December, James and the Los Angeles Lakers reportedly agreed to a two-year, $85 million contract extension.
