If this were happening at Minnesota would we be excited or nervous?

Getting into basketballs bigger business I thought this article was interesting.

For LeBron James, this has been the year of chasing everything: a championship, an MVP and the unfolding hysteria of the biggest free-agency filing in history. Yet beyond dominating the game, James has harbored hopes of controlling elements of basketball’s commerce and that’s the reason he’s spent more a year pursuing the next big star, the University of Kentucky’s John Wall.

James befriended Wall at his All-American camp as a high school senior, traveled to campus to watch him play and even enlisted rapper Drake to woo Wall to LRMR, James’ fledgling marketing company.

Now, multiple NBA, agent and sneaker industry sources say Wall is close to partnering with the firm. As the projected No. 1 pick in the 2010 NBA draft, perhaps the most-hyped pro prospect since James himself, Wall will have his marketing and endorsements guided with the perks of a partnership with the globe’s biggest basketball star.

I'm not going to copy of all this..
