Meh. At a certain level of money, you pretty much have absolute control over your life anyways. I don't know that there's much, if any, difference in standard of living between making $100 million and $150 million. At that point, it's all about getting yourself into the history books and making sure that the people 50, 100, however many years from now are still talking about LeBron James.
Timmy might not be THE richest player in the NBA, but I promise he's more than happy. Probably one of the most content guys in the entire league. But also, Timmy never had the opportunity to become one of those truly transcendent players like Jordan or Magic. Timmy's ceiling was always top 10, maybe top 5 player of all time but no higher; LeBron should be aiming for number 1, and in order to get there he needs at least 7 titles. Why set himself back 2 years? No matter how much he believes in himself, he's not an idiot; he knows he's not winning anything year one or two with Bosh, Galinari, and 9 hobos.
