"Now, I have a question for all of you do-gooders out there, what should LeBron James do? Should LeBron James decide to play for the Knicks and pay the additional taxes to show his compassion and to show he's willing to give something back, which is what we demand of our athletes, or should he not sign with the New York Knicks or the Nets, sign with the Miami Heat and pocket and use the additional money for his own economic stimulus? What would you do if you were LeBron James and somebody was going to offer you in excess -- remember, his old deal is $96 million over five years. Let's just make it up. Let's say somebody's going to pay him $140 million over five years. I don't know what it's going to be, but let's say that new number is gonna -- and, you know, taxes are going up next year, federal taxes going up, New York taxes are going up, if he goes to play for the Lakers, it's the same kind of situation. I don't think the Lakers are in the running, but regardless, what would you do?" Rush Limbaugh 7/1/10
