Lebron James. A basketball star that has used his name and wealth to cause a pizza restaurant to boom. Lebron James is a basketball great, some even consider him the greatest of all-time (if you think it’s Jordan then I only need five minutes of your time to change your mind). However, Lebron has used his platform and his popularity in order to build a franchise. Lebron has gained thirty-five million from investing in Blaze Pizza and becoming a part owner. Even though he wasn’t the one of the original idea, his vision still brought the company lots of wealth. I believe that Blaze does not become as popular as it is today without Lebron James stepping in and seeing the potential in this company and running with it. Lebron has always been driven by success, and this is no different. I think one of the main things that Lebron has in common with a lot of other entrepreneurs is his foresight. He saw opportunity and he jumped on it. He used what he had as a professional athlete and the influence he had and caused people to enjoy the restaurant that he believed it. Lebron is the perfect athlete to write a blog about.
I had no idea that Lebron had any affiliation with Blaze Pizza. The fact that he makes 35 million from that kind of disgusts me because that means he is filthy rich, but Lebron is my favorite player and indeed the greatest basketball player of all time. I am going to have to go try Blaze pizza just for that sole reason.
