Gotta admit that Bron is great at those business stuffs considering he's only 23 and his bus. kingdom is runned by his uneducated friends. Hope people won't turn this into "LeBron doesn't care about basketball...".

Only 4 athletes in the TOP 17 btw.

1-Tiger Woods
9-MJ
15-Lance Armstrong
17-LBJ

If LeBron were in a major market he'd be 25 spots higher. LOL

LeBron should be ranked higher than that. Just look at the dramatic impact he has on teams he never has played for and likely never will (knicks, nets).

pretty silly list if you ask me...

does Magic Johnson really have that big of an influence on sports anymore?

personally, I thought Tim Donaghey had more influence on sports than most of these people
