LeBron James is a rich man, but it doesn’t mean he’s paying for the premium Spotify service.

LeBron James could go full-blown Ducktales if he wished, swimming in his vault of cash after every ambiguous Tweet that suggests he might be happy playing anywhere but Cleveland.

But just because James has more money than the Queen of England, it doesn’t mean the four-time MVP is frivolous his money.

During a recent Hey, Windy podcast, with ESPN’s Brian Windhorst and host Tony Cartagena, the two revealed James uses the music service Spotify to blare his favorite music in the locker room. As a surprise to Windy and Tony, James doesn’t pay for the premium service.

“He’s sitting in there and there’s hard-core hip hop on…and all of a sudden a commercial will come on for Cleveland State’s graduate studies program, or something.”

James famously signed a $90 million contract with Nike shortly after graduating high school in 2003. He now has a lifetime deal with the brand, in addition to the multi-millions he has from his NBA earning and other endorsements.

Cartagena pointed out that LeBron gets roasted in the locker room, as he should, with Channing Frye reportedly saying, “I don’t pay for that, but he should, probably.”

Windhorst joked that James is angling for a Spotify endorsement deal, with Cartagena adding James uses the Netflix password of his former high school teammate Romeo Travis.

“The password is state champs 2003,” Windy joked.

Cartagena is the Cavs beat reporter for WKNR 850 AM, and Windhorst is one of the most respected basketball writers in the country.

None of this matters, but itt was fun to hear to the two share some fun details from inside the locker room, as opposed to the rubix-cube puzzle that is LeBron’s social-media presence.
