LeBron James thought he would sign with Reebok initially

LeBron James: The best pitch that I got, where I thought I was going to end up, was actually with Reebok. At one point, I went to their meeting, and I sat down across from their CEO and the guys running basketball. I was a senior in high school at the time. I actually had to go back to class the next day. They flew me in, and I was going back to St. Vincent-St. Mary the next day, my senior year. At the end of the meeting, the guy slides a check across the table to me, my mom, and Maverick Carter. He says, “If you don’t go talk to any other companies, this is yours.” I look at it—$10 million. A $10 million check, right there.
