I'm a nerd and I'm not big into the NBA (although I am into other sports) and I think if you can't figure out what is impressive about Lebron James then I think you're maybe not really trying to.
I don't see the claim that Lebron James is not impressive, but I have no problem with imagining someone having little idea of who he is. Besides, he's nothing compared to Michael Jordan and if you don't know about him then you're just not alive.
He's about to be. He just signed a lifetime deal with Nike[0] which will undoubtedly make him a billionaire, in a similar vein to what Jordan did with the "Air Jordan" brand.
I'm almost certain that that is false. They may be high-profile, but there's only about 2000 players on NFL rosters, 500 on NBA rosters, 750 on MLB rosters, and another 750 on NHL rosters. In the grand scheme of things, that's not that many possible rapists and abusers, compared with the legions of, say, prison guards, or police officers, or lawyers, or soldiers, Catholic priests, or investment bankers.
