The LeBron James effect has already been felt on Kalshi’s NBA Championship markets, specifically to win the Eastern Conference Championship. LeBron and the Philadelphia 76ers sit at the top of the board with a 24% chance to win the East.
The defending NBA Champion New York Knicks sit behind them at 20%. They are the only two teams in the Eastern Conference with a higher-than-20% price to win the conference. A $10 trade profits $29.45 if the 76ers win and $35.09 on the Knicks.
