LeBron James, the all-time scoring leader in the NBA and a billionaire, has said that he will not pay for Elon Musk's Twitter Blue subscription, even if it means losing his blue verification checkmark on April 1.
James is known for his frugality and once called himself "the cheapest guy in the NBA," refusing to pay for data roaming or apps.
James has earned $431 million during his 20-year NBA career, according to Spotrac data, and an estimated $900 million in endorsements since he entered the league in 2003.
