4. The Clippers brand

Added, James just won one for Cleveland. He helped that entire city merge out of Championship mediocrity. Hence, LeBron could easily help the Clippers become the focus of Los Angeles with a couple of championships.

Everyone remembers the Clippers as the lovable losers but don’t forget this team sold for $2 billion not too long ago. This means the Clippers have a very marketable brand despite being only a piece of the Los Angeles Market.

Plus, James has only played for the Cavaliers and Heat. Both those teams have a red tone in their branding. The Clippers have plenty of red in their uniforms and logo.
