Does LeBron have too many ad deals? So it appears that LeBron James will be helping Microsoft sell Windows Vista, the new operating system which the software behemoth will unleash on a weary world next week. James, of course, whose management company announced he had signed an unspecified promo deal with Microsoft in December, already has heavy endorsement deals from Nike (The LeBrons at left) and Sprite. Before I privately contemplate what a pain in the ass it is to install a new OS, can we all just take a moment to say, ”Overexposure”? Good. I’ll also share this comment from one person at AOL's NBA Fanhouse site, “No one, including LeBron, will ever be as cool as John Hodgman!” Hear, hear. —Posted by Catharine P. Taylor

Lebron. Overhyped. Overpaid. Just waiting for the crash and burn.

Lebron and Nike, check. Lebron and Sprite, check
Lebron and Vista. Huh?
Just not seeing any connection between him and computer software.
Though I bet the creatives had fun on the shoot.

Oh the humanity! first rappers take all the good acting roles... now athletes are promoting geekgear? On the plus side maybe they'll do a commercial where he slam dunks on that apple dude.

Lebron is overrated, he's overappreciated. Seriously, where did Microsoft get such a stupid idea?

Fun loving and imaginative spirits of all ages plan Walt Disney World Vacations each year. Youngsters are busy planning their dreams in their imaginations; adults are busy calculating and planning all the details of daily activities. All Walt Disney World vacations include visits to one or more of Disney’ s legendary Theme Parks- The Magic Kingdom, Epcot, MGM Studios or Animal Kingdom.
