James' agent, childhood friend Rich Paul, gave more details to ESPN.com. The deal is reportedly worth $100 million over three seasons. The second year will pay James just over $33 million, according to ESPN.com -- topping the $33 million the Chicago Bulls paid Michael Jordan in his final season with the team.
The new deal's first year, this coming season, will pay James $31 million to make him the NBA's highest-paid active player for the first time ever. The third season is reportedly a player option.
Now let's break the full contract down into terms everyone can relate to.
Divide $100 million by 1,095, (the number of days contained in three years) and you get $91,324. That's how much James will make every single dayunder his new contract.
Divide that by 24 and you get $3,805 -- that's how much James will make every single hourof every single day.
Divide that by 60 and you get $63.42 -- that's how much James will make every single minute of every single day.
Divide that by 60 and you get $1.06 -- that's how much James will make every single secondof every single day for the duration of his new contract.
So, yeah: LeBron James will earn more than a dollar every single second for every single minute of every single day during his new contract.
And yet, he's still underpaid.
Time to start practicing that jump shot, people.
