loss and now trying to suppress video that shows him as something less
than a superman for about five seconds. It's a little like an actress
who won't allow herself to be photographed unless her makeup is on and
the lighting is perfect. It would be a shame to see James, who has been
so appealing in part because he has seemed so natural and
down-to-earth, turn into the kind of celebrity athlete who becomes so
self-absorbed he can't handle defeat with grace or so image conscious
he tries to micro-manage the flow of information about him that reaches
the public.
I couldn't have said it better myself. The King's image has taken a pounding this off-season, starting with the way he walked off the court in the series loss to Orlando, to the egomaniacal t-shirts to the dunk tape fiasco. If he leaves Cleveland (without winning a title), things will only get worse.
UPDATE: Nike says it will return those confiscated tapes from LeBron's camp. Why bother now? All this does is prove you took the tapes to protect LBJ and not because videotaping is prohibited at the camp, like you initially claimed.
Red Alert: New Photo Gallery
I'd like to point out the addition of our newest photo gallery – Erin Andrews. No – you won't find any images from the peep-hole tape. We are honoring her beauty in a very respectable and SFW format.
Don't forget to check out our other galleries – Bar Rafaeli, Alison Preston, NBA Dancers and Adriana Lima. I've added some new photos to those galleries.
