LeBron Didn’t Meet Biggest Fan
Eyebrows were raised when LeBron said he respected a fan who had the guts to run onto the MSG court just to shake his hand. After the kid spent a few hours in jail for the stunt, a report came out saying that he was going to be James’s personal guest at a Cavs home game.
This was obviously problematic in the eyes of many.
LeBron, though, has come out and denied the whole thing.
“It never happened,” James said about purchasing a ticket. “I don’t know where that rumor came from.” If Erskine showed up, James said he would not know anything about it.
“I wouldn’t know unless someone told me,” James said. “It happened so fast. I don’t remember what he looks like.”
Ah, good to see good old logic winning out in the end. As for the rest of you crazed fans out there: Let this be a lesson.

Lesson? The lesson is that LeBron, Inc. is idiotic to not take advantage of the PR boon.

Great point, Cap’n. LeBron and Co. have made so many horrible business decisions along the way, and this will finally be the one that bankrupts him.

He did already shake Bron’s hand and became a national news story, right? That’s more than most of his fan’s will ever get.

Also — and far be it from me to, like, defend LeBron — but Windhorst reported this the other day from an unnamed source. But, hey, details!

CLEVELAND — LeBron James is striking a pose.
The Cleveland Cavaliers’ superstar will appear on the April cover of Vogue, joining actors Richard Gere and George Clooney as the only men to do so in the influential fashion magazine’s 116-year history.
Wearing a tank top, shorts and sneakers from his own Nike clothing line, James appears on the cover dribbling a basketball and screaming as if in game mode while throwing one arm around supermodel Gisele Bundchen with Tom Brady nowhere to be found.
The pairing of the All-Star forward and the runway icon was shot in January by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz in James’ hometown of Akron, Ohio.
Vogue is featuring athletes and models in an annual issue devoted to size and shape. The 6-foot-9 James and 5-foot-11 Bundchen, who dates Patriots star quarterback Brady, were a natural pairing.
“Nobody says more about fashion size and shape than Gisele and LeBron,” Vogue spokesman Patrick O’Connell said. “LeBron is an amazing star and athlete that has crossed over into a cultural phenomena.”
Being on the cover of a sports magazine is nothing new to James, who first appeared on Sports Illustrated’s front as a 17-year-old high school junior in 2002 next to the presumptuous title of “The Chosen One.” He is currently one of 11 athletes appearing on the cover of ESPN The Magazine’s 10th anniversary issue.
However, as his popularity and visibility broaden, James has recently been featured on the covers of Fortune, Men’s Health and Black Enterprise.

is it just me or does this make no sense: “The 6-foot-9 James and 5-foot-11 Bundchen, who dates Patriots star quarterback Brady, were a natural pairing.”
