Hmmm I think GQ always does a good job whenever they put Lebrick Shames I mean Lebron James on their cover. Their last look made me a believer in men wearing pink shirts so I gotta give em props for that one (I HATED PINK now I own two pastel pink dress shirts wooot). This time is no different as they feature Lebron in a nicely fitted and tailored waistcoat and matching pants. That's a dapper look right there ladies and gents. In the magazine Lebron talks about his childhood hate for Cleveland, the likelihood of him playing for the Cavaliers again and his thoughts on Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert....
He can imagine, he says, playing for Cleveland again one day.
Did I hear him right? Cleveland?
"If there was an opportunity for me to return," he says, "and those fans welcome me back, that'd be a great story."
Cleveland…Ohio? Where fans at this very moment are burning his jerseys? Where fans are selling toilet paper made from his jerseys?
"Maybe the ones burning my jersey," he says, "were never LeBron fans anyway."
ames on how a kid could from Akron, located only thirty minutes from Cleveland, could grow up rooting for Chicago and Jordan: "It's not far, but it is far. And Clevelanders, because they were the bigger-city kids when we were growing up, looked down on us.… So we didn't actually like Cleveland. We hated Cleveland growing up. There's a lot of people in Cleveland we still hate to this day."
• James on Cavs owner Dan Gilbert: "I don't think he ever cared about LeBron. My mother always told me: 'You will see the light of people when they hit adversity. You'll get a good sense of their character.' Me and my family have seen the character of that man." He went on to say that Gilbert's post-Decision screed "made me feel more comfortable that I made the right decision."
• James on Charles Barkley, who's been hyper-critical of James's decision to share the limelight—and the scoring burden—with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami: "Charles was probably trying to be funny. It wasn't funny to me."
