THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS REVISITING THE SUPERSTAR EXTERNALITY: LEBRON’S ‘DECISION’ AND THE EFFECT OF HOME MARKET SIZE ON EXTERNAL VALUE ANDREW DAVID BRYANT SPRING 2013 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in Mathematics and Economics with honors in Economics Reviewed and approved* by the following: Edward Coulson Professor of Economics Thesis Supervisor David Shapiro Professor of Economics Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT The movement of superstar players in the National Basketball Association from small- market teams to big-market teams has become a prominent issue. This was evident during the recent lockout, which resulted in new league policies designed to hinder this flow of talent. The most notable example of this superstar migration was LeBron James’ move from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Miami Heat. There has been much discussion about the impact on the two franchises directly involved in this transaction. However, the indirect impact on the other 28 teams in the league has not been discussed much. This paper attempts to examine this impact by analyzing the effect that home market size has on the superstar externality that Hausman & Leonard discovered in their 1997 paper. A road attendance model is constructed for the 2008-09 to 2011-12 seasons to compare LeBron’s “superstar effect” in Cleveland versus his effect in Miami. An increase of almost 15 percent was discovered in the LeBron superstar variable, suggesting that the move to a bigger market positively affected LeBron’s fan appeal. -

Propos recueillis le 24 février 2014 en marge d’une conférence à USC. « It was like you had black kids from New York in the 1960s being coached by white men from Mississippi. The cultural disconnect was that drastic. France, because of its colonies, half the team is black. There was a serious disconnect between the players and the staff. When I was a rookie, we had 3 meetings: one to manage your money, one for security matters, one to handle lovers. All this was meant to protect the NBA brand, the corporate brand. We’re athletes, but we’re more than athletes. I would love to see these corporations consider athletes as individuals, just as they consider themselves. -
A Cavalier Approach to Public Relations: the Unconventional Image Restoration of Lebron James
Volume 5 2016 www.csscjournal.org ISSN 2167-1974 Special Section BREAKING THE RULES A Cavalier Approach to Public Relations: The Unconventional Image Restoration of LeBron James Kathleen Stansberry Cleveland State University Jessalynn Strauss Elon University Abstract In a widely panned 2010 television special, LeBron James announced that he would be leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers and “taking his talents to South Beach.” Criticized by many for exhibiting what was seen as uncouth and egotistical behavior, James and his personal and professional image were severely damaged by the fallout from the spectacle and subsequent posturing. After five years, however, LeBron’s image has recovered fully, and today he has the distinction of being one of the most popular athletes in the world. Using the theoretical lens of Benoit’s Image Restoration Theory, this case study examines how James bucked established strategic communication processes to rebuild his tarnished brand. Keywords: sports marketing; image restoration theory; personal branding; LeBron James; National Basketball Association; social media When basketball player LeBron James announced that he was leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers, he did so in a one-hour live broadcast on ESPN opaquely called The Decision. Horrified Cavs fans watched their hometown hero, who had grown from a kid in Akron to become a man almost universally known as the most talented active player in the NBA, To cite this article Stansberry, K., & Strauss, J.

Union's Joel Anthony Is an NBA Champion by Julian Mckenzie
Union's Joel Anthony is an NBA Champion By Julian McKenzie After a much hyped decision, a fiery introduction, and a rise from disappointment, the 2012 version of the Miami Heat finally captured an NBA title. Among those champions, which includes the Big Three of LeBron James, Chris Bosh & Dwyane Wade, include Montreal native Joel Anthony, who returned to Montreal this week. After the 2011 NBA Finals where they were dropped in five games to the Dallas Mavericks, the Heat were able to regroup in order to reclaim the top prize over a young Oklahoma City Thunder squad in five games. “It was humbling.” Anthony described the pain of losing the 2011 Finals. “Going through the pain of losing the finals, the opportunity. All year, guys held onto [the loss]. Since the win, Anthony has been surrounded by the craziness which comes with being an NBA champion. Along with the publicity he and his teammates received in Miami, going home to his home church of Union United, he was greeted by his fans and church family, while taking part in many photo opportunities. “It’s been surreal.” Anthony says of the whole experience. “To finally win, it was a great win for us and for the city of Miami.” Despite the success, Anthony is still grounded in his values. He credits his home church, Union United. “The biggest influence was my church upbringing.” Anthony says “People see me as a laid back individual and that quiet demeanor was brought up from how I was raised. You talk about being a product of your environment and the church was my environment.” Joel has also lent his support towards the major renovation fund for Union United Church, saying he has contributed monetarily towards the campaign while aiding his mother, Erene Anthony, the head of the church’s Official Board. -

Basketball’s popularity is not con \ ned to the United States. The game is also enjoyed internationally, with rules available in thirty languages. Basketball is included among the Olympic sports. HISTORY OF THE GAME In 1891, a physical education instructor at a YMCA Training School in Massachusetts invented basketball as an indoor activity for boys. The game began with two peach baskets tied to balconies and a soccer ball used to shoot baskets. Two years later, two college teams began to play basketball. The game’s popularity has increased continuously ever since. The National Basketball Association (NBA) is the larg- est professional sports league. It was created when the Basketball Association of America and the National Basketball League merged in 1949. The majority of professional players are recruited by the NBA from col- lege ranks.
