'Forbes': LeBron James is the first active NBA player to become a billionaire

A MARTINEZ, HOST:

Good morning. I'm A Martinez. Even though LeBron James is not in the NBA Finals this year, he has about a billion reasons to celebrate. Forbes says at 37, he's the first active NBA player ever to become a billionaire. While he's made nearly $400 million on the court, most of his money, about 900 mil, came from things such as brand deals, real estate and investments.
