1. Would LeBron generate less money for his team/league the gap between him and the next best is slightly less?

2. Does the NBA give LeBron a platform to make 2x more than his NBA salary in endorsements? (Yes.)

don't understand the first question

as for the second point, not sure what this has to do with the original comment/point, specifically the fact that lebron is proof against the idea that "Unions depress wages for top performers". obviously a lot of complex dynamics here, and one could argue that the nba players union has helped make the nba more successful and all the money that came with that. just pointing out that using lebron as a counterargument to the original comment about wages (ie his nba salary) is a bit ironic.
