Then you bring in the Mexico factor for LeBron James. San Antonio is very close to Mexico.
LeBron could globalize himself in Mexico. That could make LeBron James a bigger sports figure in Central America than most NBA players.

Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports continues to bring new information to light about the power moves unfolding within the inner circle of LeBron James.
With James' free agency imminent, members of his crew are jockeying for position wherever the superstar plays next.
None more so than William Wesley who, writes Wojnarowski, wants James out of Cleveland and to a new city where his own control would expand.
"If LeBron leaves, Wes is going to get carte blanche wherever he signs," one source said. "He’s going to have the run of the place, and he doesn’t have that in Cleveland. He has access there, but Maverick Carter is the guy with the keys there. …[Carter’s] much more influential, and would always be in Cleveland."
Maverick Carter and the other high school friends of James would seem to prefer him to remain in Cleveland where their spheres of influence are well established.
"No one cares about those guys walking around in Chicago or Miami or New York," one league executive told Wojnarowski.
Carter controls certain people in the media and plants the stories he wants reported. Last week Chris Broussard quoted Carter in a story breaking news about how James was cancelling plans to visit the cities of the teams interested in signing him this summer.

I don't want our front office to sit down with Wade at all, there's no purpose.
When LeBron James starts listening to pitches on Thursday from the teams trying to lure him away from the Cleveland Cavaliers, one person who is not expected to be present is William Wesley, a prominent, behind-the-scenes adviser to various athletes and a longtime acquaintance of James.
Wesley, who straddles the worlds of college basketball and the N.B.A., is widely known by his nickname “Worldwide Wes.

source close to LeBron James says the Cavaliers still have the edge in
signing him to a free agent contract.
CLEVELAND,
Ohio -- With rumors popping up and then being shot down routinely, one
thing remains clear though all of the chaos surrounding LeBron James'
free agency: the Cavaliers are still the frontrunner.
A source close to James told The Plain Dealer Tuesday morning that
James still considers the Cavs to have the edge in re-signing the
two-time Most Valuable Player. This is based not only on the fact that
the Cavs can pay him $30 million more than another team over the next
six years, but also that it is James' home.
James will host a series of meetings in the Akron area starting
Thursday at 10 a.m. when the New Jersey Nets are scheduled to make the
first presentation, a source said. Nets new Russian owner Mikhail
Prokhorov is flying to the U.S. just for the meeting before immediately
flying back out. Then the New York Knicks are expected to present their
case followed by a series of other suitors that could last much of
Thursday and Friday.
The Cavs and likely a new head coach, which the team hopes to hire in
the next two days, might also meet with James. While there have been
reports that the Cavs are close to hiring Lakers assistant coach Brian
Shaw, a team source said Tuesday morning that the Cavs have not made an
offer to Shaw or other leading candidate Byron Scott.
After all the meetings, according to sources, James is expected to
make his decision over a period of several days. Until then, James does
not plan on committing to anything.
Over the last several days there have been a series of stories from
newspaper and websites that have linked James to the Knicks, Bulls and
Heat. Various denials then followed. Late Monday, ESPN reported that
James met with fellow free agents Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade over the
weekend in Miami.
But sources close to James have told The Plain Dealer that James was
in New York over the weekend and did not travel to Miami. It is possible
that Wade, James and Bosh all spoke on the telephone about their
options and plans as they hit free agency. All three are represented by
the same agency.
Wade and Bosh's agent, Henry Thomas, told the Miami Herald that the
three did not meet in Miami.
