I remember once hearing that when @kingjames left Cleveland (the first time), his economic impact on the local economy could be boiled down to $180m.

$180 million dollars.
So I looked up Jordan’s impact - $6.6bn is from 2023…it beats out the GDP of THIRTY EIGHT COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD which represent approximately 30 MILLION PEOPLE.
Dog, WHAT???!??!?!
