The Chinese Connection and Splatgirl

I don't discuss basketball (read that "LeBron James") here.  I leave that to the other half of the blog, but I will point out one thing.

I guess a lot of people in the Big Apple and the Windy City think that Cleveland is a small market and that joining the Chicago Bulls or the New York Knicks or the New Jersey (soon to be Brooklyn) Nets because the markets are bigger than Cleveland would be a marketing bonanza for LeBron James.

I'm not real bright and don't know very much about anything, but Chinese businessman, Kenny Huang, owns 15% of the Cleveland Cavaliers.  He's a marketing guy, recently hooking up Tsingtao Brewery, the largest Chinese beer company, with the Cavaliers and Quicken Loans Arena, the first such marketing deal for the brewery and an NBA team and its arena.  

I might be wrong, but Mr. Huang might be able to introduce LeBron to the balance of the 1,330,141,295 (CIA World Fact Book) Chinese who don't know him.  Except for Yao Ming, LeBron is the most popular NBA player in China.

Let's see.  That market is over 100 times larger than New York and Chicago put together (N.Y. - 8,274,527, Chicago - 2,836,658).  Is that a good reason to re-sign with the Cavaliers?

This is the real reason I posted. Stacey has visited something called Etsy. She directed me to splatgirl creates, who makes leather holders for my MOO mini business cards.

Splatgirl is great. I ordered two custom holders Saturday afternoon. I got them in the mail on Tuesday. Please check out her site.
