After the game, a blowout win for the Heat, the visitors locker room is predictably jam-packed. There’s a GQ photographer in here, and plans for a show-offy shot are being hatched, but D-Wade has to shout across the locker room at LeBron to be heard over this din: “HEY, WE GONNA DO THIS PICTURE?” LeBron looks confused amid all the commotion. He shouts back, “I DUNNO. YOU GONNA DO IT?”
They decide to do something unusual: They walk out together, sharing the runway, LeBron wearing an entirely different outfit from the one he wore coming into the arena. It’s dressier. This time it’s an A.P.C. peacoat over a crisp white shirt and tie. He has a black watchman’s cap tilted on his head. Wade is still rocking the Black Russian.
The two of them are flanked by security guards who are mean-mugging through the phalanx of lingerers in the Barclays loading dock. LeBron and Wade get caught in an eddy against a wall, where they smile and say hello to a pair of female fans. The photographer is told to stop shooting, because nobody wants this to look weird. But we’re running out of catwalk. Finally, the girls leave.
Wade turns to LeBron and says, “Let’s give GQ this money shot.”

LeBron gets his custom-made Iron Man 3 shoes
Cool. Never really saw LeBron as an Iron Man kind of guy though. Maybe Superman or Batman.

The Miami Heat Harlem Shake
Shane Battier: “Whenever I’m tapped for something like that, I go to the horsehead, It’s undefeated. If you need some weird things, I’m your guy. So I was the ‘horsetronaut.’”
Dwyane Wade: “That was for me a little dedication to Chicago, but also my love for teddy bears.”
Chris Bosh got a boombox from his garage, “next to my old Bell Biv Devoe cassette tapes.”

“You always tried to look for someone that was a superhero or someone who was beyond life Mine was Batman, mine was Transformers and Michael Jordan. Growing up those were the ones. I was like, I wish I could transform into this, I wish I could fly like Michael Jordan, or propel like Batman does.” -
The mask. The mantle.

“They don’t seem to want to talk any trash. I say everything to LeBron. He says nothing back. He just laughs. There’s no banter back and forth. I guess it’s a generational thing.” — Kobe Bryant (via gotemcoach) -

We’re not sure which is more fun to watch - the $75,000 halfcourt hook shot or LeBron James celebrating by tackling the fan that made it!
