How valuable is LeBron James: MSG stocks tumble
With news that coveted NBA free agent LeBron James was likely headed to Miami and not the Big Apple to play for the New York Knicks, investors got a jolt.
Read my colleague Harriet Brackey’s entry on her It’s Your Money blog about the impact of James not going to New York. It seems investors were betting on Knicks' owner Madison Square Garden, well, until James wasn’t. Brackey tells us stocks slumped 5.5 percent -- $90 million in stock market value today.
