LeBron James’ new Nike contract makes King James King of the Jocks, says his business manager, who pegged the shoe deal at more than $1 billion.

Asked by GQ Style about the accuracy of rapper Kanye West’s comment that the lifetime contract was worth $1 billion, James rep Maverick Carter simply smiled and pointed upward, according to the magazine.

“It’s a fantastic deal,” Carter told GQ Style. “Nike feels great about the deal. That’s the most important thing.

“It’s the largest deal in the history of the company. Their hope is he makes even more. And our hope is that, too, obviously.”

James signed the lifetime endorsement deal last December.

As for his negotiating secrets, Carter said you “have to be willing to not take everything.”

“When you’re negotiating something like the Nike deal, it’s gonna last a lifetime, literally,” Carter said.

“The minute this negotiation’s over, we’re gonna work with these people every day. So you don’t want to leave them with a bad feeling.”
