LeBron James and his castle

LeBron James is referred to as King James amongst his fans. Now he can live like one in his new palace in a suburb outside of his hometown of Akron, Ohio.

The size you might ask? A modest 35,440 square feet! If you can't imagine how big that is, it's not much smaller than a Best Buy. It's going to have a barber shop and a two story closet in the first floor master bedroom.

Apparently it's attracting attention as well. You don't say? People are driving by taking photos and blocking the streets of the neighborhood to it's current residents.

People who come to photograph it are disrespectful," said Tom Bader, one of nine immediate next-door neighbors. "They park their car in the middle of the street -- with their doors open! And you're sitting behind them! All I wanna do is go home after a hard day's work."

Considering LeBron bought the property for $2.1 million in 2003 with a house on it. If you aren't from Ohio $2.1 million is a lot of house, like 11 bedrooms worth, which was what the previous house that LeBron had torn down to build this one. The house will be among homes that range from 3,20o and 13,000 square feet. Nice, so pretty much three of the largest houses on the block combined will equal the size of LBJ's crib which will be done in '08.
