LeBron James: Ya Think?!?! 🤦🏾♂️ Daniel Roberts: AI is hastening the spread of fake news slop, and it's particularly bad in the sports category for reasons @EllynBriggs @FOS enumerates. Athletes having to set the record straight on a daily basis now due to viral fake quotes and misinfo.

Thirteen NBA stars are among 2013′s Fortunate 50, a Sports Illustrated ranking of the top-50 highest-earning professional athletes compiled by Daniel Roberts. LeBron James leads the way among basketball players, ranking No. 2 overall on the list with a salary of $17.5 million and estimated endorsements worth $39 million, giving him a total take of $56.5 million. James, who boasts endorsement deals with Nike and Samsung, trailed only boxer Floyd “Money” Mayweather on the list after ranking No. 5 overall in 2012.
