This is What Warren Buffett Had to Say About Lebron James

According to the Oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffett himself, NBA basketball player LeBron James has a “money mind.”

“People really do have minds that function better than other people’s in certain areas that you can’t give a test for,” said Buffett to USA Today. “And LeBron, in addition to a lot of other talents, he has a money mind. And he gets stuff.”

James is known for being careful with his money despite the fact that he is one of the top paid athletes with $85.5 million in earnings.

While other players play for the game, James has been vocal about basketball being a business opportunity. He told the Wall Street Journal once, “The first time I stepped onto an NBA court I became a businessman.”

Sacramento Kings player Iman Shumper said, “We’re smart about our coins, man. If I ever wanted to have someone on the team invest my money, it’d be LeBron.”

Buffett said, “He can separate out the cream from the crap, and you get more of the latter proposed to you than you do of the former. You really have to be able to suss it out.”

“He talked smarter about business deals than plenty of MBAs I’ve met,” Buffett also said. “he was 21 then… He knew a lot more than I did when I was 21.”
