AKRON, Ohio (AFP) - LeBron James pleaded no contest to an auto speeding violation Monday and was fined 259 dollars - about as much as the National Basketball Association superstar guard makes in five seconds of play.
The Akron Beacon-Journal reported the imposed fine Tuesday from an incident last December 30 - James 30th birthday.
The NBA scoring leader was driving 101 mph, 36 miles over the posted speed limit, at 3 in the morning after the teams arrival by plane from a loss in New Orleans.
Given James salary of more than 13 million dollars and an 82-game NBA season, he makes more than 55 dollars a second per game, so the violation will barely make a blip on the radar screen of his income.
The Cavaliers, who were swept by San Antonio in last years NBA Finals, have started the season 26-20, the fourth-best record in the Eastern Conference.
