LBJ chooses the Heat

Publication date: 2010

It's official: LeBron James will be heading to the Miami Heat. I don't see any team that will beat them. They have three out of the top 5 players from the 2003 draft.

LeBron James decided to take his show to South Beach. With Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh already agreeing to verbal contracts, James will join a star-studded cast to chase after a title that has eluded him in 2007. Nobody ever thought that the Heat would land three high caliber free agents in one year.

Ever since joining the NBA in 2003, LeBron James has escalated his game to legendary status. In such a short time, he has earned two league MVP, a scoring title, and two top regular season finishes for the Cavs.  James will now have a chance to win a title.

The Cavs never had enough talent to win. They were great in the regular season, but awful in the post season. Game 5 of the 2010 Celtics and Cavs second round playoff series proved to be the game that decided the fate of LeBron James' future.

The 2010-11 NBA season will be a memorable season. Will the Lakers have enough to repeat again? Can the Heat race out of the gates to establish themselves as title contenders? We'll have to wait and see.

Will LBJ land in Sacramento?

Publication date: 2010

Tomorrow everyone will know LBJ's new address. Will he move to a title contender, or take another shot at helping Cleveland win a title?

Lebron James is receiving more attention than the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Should sports work in such a way as to consume the attention of the media and viewers? The hoopla surrounding the NBA is that Lebron James will decide his future tomorrow. Will LBJ remain a Cavalier? Or, will he relocate to a contender? Every sports fan and business is paying close attention to the LBJ economic effect.

As a Sacramento Kings fan, I would welcome Lebron James to the Kings. The moment Kevin Martin left, the number 23 is available again. What better way than to hand Lebron James a new Kings jersey with the number 23 on it. Businesses have dreamed about this moment, especially restaurants, bars and sports-related stores. The media has attempted to convince the mass that the coming of Lebron James would generate huge revenue.

Everyone has to remember that the same amount of money will be spent. The LBJ economic effect is that his signing will generate more interest. On nights that his team plays, fans will flock to the arena, local bars and the restaurants to watch the team. It is determined that LBJ will increase the value of a franchise and increase a city's revenue.

However, other businesses may lose money due to the the redistribution of revenue. People that normally go out to dinner and watch movies will instead choose to invest their time and money into basketball. No matter what, people will always spend their money. Whether they go shopping, dine out and travel, a basketball player or a team will not change the amount of money that is spent. It is evident that more money will be spent in a particular area, but there will be other areas that stand to lose revenue.

The best strategy to determine if a player such as LBJ can change the economic dynamics of a city is to compare the amount of revenue he brings in to past years. Also, it is also wise to assess the change in revenue in other areas. Evaluating the overall amount of money spent in an entire city versus that in the recent years can determine whether LBJ can generate more revenue in relation to its past economic performance.

There is a perception that city council members must approve tax increases to build new arenas. The sports owners convey that investing into an area will bring notoriety to a city, and generate additional revenue. New York City doesn't need Lebron James to be successful. They already have Broadway, the Statue of Liberty, Manhattan, Times Square, Yellow Cab taxis, and museums to generate revenue. Cities that approve multi-million dollar sports arena may benefit from using the arena to hold conventions and other events, but for sports alone it's not a good investment. The money is better spent somewhere else.

Furthermore, LBJ alone cannot improve the economic landscape, except maybe for Sacramento, California. A player of LBJ's stature will likley transform Sacramento into a premiere hot spot. California surely needs an economic boost. LBJ has the influence to bring the media along with him. The Maloofs will then be able to build their new arena. Sports fans would travel long distances to watch the Kings.

So those fans that are coming from outside cities will adversely impact revenue in places such as Reno, San Francisco and other surrounding cities, but for the most part, the LBJ economic effect can benefit a smaller market like Sacramento, who really needs a catalyst to generate revenue in their struggling economy.

Looking to score Broadway Tickets to Wicked on Mother's Day

Do you plan to visit New York City? The Broadway district is one of the most famous theater districts in the world. Are you looking for Broadway tickets?

image credit: Broadwayworld.com


Wicked Broadway Show
Located at the Gershwin Theatre
222 West 51st Street, New York, NY 10019

Think about the following scenario. You just arrived in New York City. Wicked show tickets have been sold out for months. The half-price ticket window near the Marquis Theatre doesn't have any tickets available. So how do you find tickets to Wicked?

There are random people who scower the street corner alongside the Marquis Theatre. Essentially, these people purchased Wicked show tickets when they were first released to the public. The ticket resellers operate in the same manner as those who sell tickets at sporting events.

Ask one of these individuals whether they have any Wicked show tickets. More than likely they will have at least a pair of tickets to sell you. The tickets may cost you more, but it guarantees you a seat in the show.

Usually the Gershwin Theatre will put a few tickets up for sale on the day of the show, but this option won't guarantee you a ticket. Most shows, especially the Mother's Day one next week, tend to be sold out. If you take a chance standing in the cancellation line, you may waste your time. Essentially, tickets are only available on a first come, first serve basis. As for the ticket resellers, acquiring tickets from them will place you in the show.

Don't expect to sit in the front row. For the most part, you will probably end up sitting in the last row, or near the top row. As the show time approaches, the main goal is to find tickets. Since most of the seats are relatively close in proximity, any seat within the theater is good enough.

When shows are sold out, that suggests that you won't be able to purchase tickets at the half-price ticket booths, online, or at the theatre in which the show is playing at. However, it doesn't mean that you won't find any tickets.

Many companies purchase Broadway tickets early on. Sometimes people are unable to attend shows for reasons beyond their control. "Sold out" only means there are no longer tickets for sale. But if you want Wicked show tickets, you can find them. You'll likely be paying around $75 or more per ticket, but it is well worth the price.

The Wicked show is one that you'll never forget. If you happen to be in New York City next weekend, take your mother to next Sunday's show. The Mother's Day show is magical. I had a chance to watch the Mother's Day show in 2008, which made everyone around me, including myself, feel as if we were in a fairy tale. The acting, lighting, direction, sound and the writing was superb.

If you're planning to visit New York in the upcoming week, visit the street corner near the Marquis Theatre, next to the half-price ticket window. Most likely you'll find the right person. They will sell you authentic tickets because their business depends on word of mouth. It is highly unlikely the tickets will be fake.

I trusted these people, and was able to experience a rare show. Another lady that sat near me also attended the show. Her daughters purchased tickets from the same people. In result, I had the opportunity to watch RENT, Wicked and Cry Baby. Since then, only Wicked is still playing on Broadway.

Use the keyword toolbar below, or the related search above to search for Broadway tickets. You never know what you'll find unless you try. While the search may seem unlikely, scoring Broadway ticket is possible. If the search turns up cold, then consider the steps I provided above to score Wicked Broadway tickets.

Buy your mother a gift that will last a lifetime. The Wicked Broadway is one memory that will never fade away.
Happy Mother's Day to all the great mothers out there!
