C.J. Anderson mimics LeBron James, takes family to Hawaii on private jet

March 24 (UPI) -- Last March, he signed a four-year, $18 million contract with the Denver Broncos.

C.J. Anderson is using that money this year, including when he recently chartered a private jet and flew 11 family members to Hawaii. His current pact includes $10 million guaranteed.

The 2014 Pro Bowl selection ran for 437 yards and four touchdowns in seven games last season, before being struck by injury. Anderson, 26, was placed on injured reserve in August due to a torn meniscus.

Anderson posted a photo from the vacation last week on social media. He said he was mimicking LeBron James.

"I saw @KingJames do this and I swore to myself I would do this for my family extremely blessed," Anderson wrote.

The fifth-year running back is due $2.9 million, with a $100,000 workout bonus next season. James has made more than $172 million on the court since 2003. He is due $30.9 million this season, $33.2 million next season, and has a player option for $35 million in 2018.
