LeBron James wore his protective mask at practice, but did not don it publicly. The world will have to wait until Thursday to see it.

So the world was waiting to see Lebron James in a mask that looks like it came from a super hero?

If this was WWE, they'd have someone on the other team trying to remove his mask, with James fighting tooth and nail to keep it on.

I just don't understand why it can't be a clear mask? The NBA isn't a fashion show.

Yes, I believe it is.

Case in point: those tight V-neck Enrique Suave sleeved jerseys teams will be required to wear. And the shoes. Oh, the shoes.

LeBron is a circus bear, apparently.

Now I want to watch LeBron wrestle a circus bear Semi-Pro style.

Awesome.

I have always wondered why these multi zillionaires don't make those masks more fun like hockey masks.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Black face, huh? That's racist.

 

[blue32]

haha that mask is freaking awesomely funny. specially in that clip.
I hate lebron but damn, thats entertaining.

There would be fewer rolled ankles if guys would stop wearing fashion Jordans and wear proper basketball shoes.

I really thought the mask looked pretty good. If the Heat are smart, they'll sell a bunch of those.

LeBron James will comply with the NBA’s request to ditch his black mask for a clearer version to protect his broken nose for the Miami HEAT’s game Saturday against the Orlando Magic.
HEAT coach Erik Spoelstra said Saturday morning that the team has been in contact with the NBA and that James will select from a variety of league-approved masks to wear for the next several weeks.

Why does the NBA care?

Why does the NBA care?

Fashion policing > PED policy

lebrons face is marketable, so they want to see his face

if he would have came out in a mask with his own face on it he would have been my hero

Chris Bosh put on LeBron's black mask. Nice teeth.
