I’m sure Lebron James didn’t expect this summer to go the way it has. Sure he signed with the Miami Heat which we are hearing may have been according to plan for quite some time, but we are talking about his image and reputation with fans. The Lebron James brand has been in a downward spiral for the past couple of weeks. This latest news we saw on NewsNet5.com isn’t going to help matters:
Just a few days ago, Vaneisha Robinson believed her dreams were about to come true. As NewsChannel5 and newsnet5.com first reported, Robinson paid $5 for a pendant in the shape of LeBron James’ number 23 jersey at a yard sale four years ago.
Robinson thought it was costume jewelry until she had it appraised and certified by International Gemological Institute, which said the diamond-studded, gold jewelry was real and valued at nearly $10,000.
The amateur boxer put the pendant up for sale on eBay, hoping to use the proceeds to open her own gym.
On Wednesday, Robinson said she got a phone call that turned her dream into a nightmare. Robinson said it was Katherine L. Powers, the mother of Maverick O. Carter. Carter is the CEO of LeBron James’ marketing company, LRMR.
