Magic Johnson has put forth one million dollars- 20 times the average household income in the U.S.- daring LeBron to join the dunk contest. However, Magic's money comes with an asterisk- LeBron must win.
Following Magic's precedent, LeBron's biggest NBA rival, Kevin Durant, has added $1,000 to the pool, with several others matching his offer. The chips keep stacking. How high the stack will be by this time next year, one can only guess.
Make no mistake, this is no guaranteed payday for your boy KingJames. There are a lot of talented dunkers in this league, and they'll be bringing the house. Someone's securing a legacy. Someone's going to get paid.
Set the fireworks, close the blinds. Next year's dunk contest will be one of the greatest moments in NBA history. You'll be telling your grandkids about this one folks.
