LeBron James is obviously a selfish jerk who only cares about his own fame and fortune. But like every other living breathing human being, he needs a roof over his head and a place for other people to make him delicious food.
James isn't planning on leaving Miami anytime soon, no matter how many losses the Heat rack up in the early going. So he bought a house. In case you were wondering, it is extremely nice.
