  2. LeBron James denies encouraging violence against the police in his jab to officers making outlandish claims
  3. Powerbeats Pros is now official and was announced recently by Apple and will be the company's other true wireless earbuds. The new earbuds are said to have a better fit and sound quality when compared to the AirPods. The earbuds will be available this May; however, the new earbuds have already been spotted in the wild. © Twitter/Complex Lebron James was spotted sporting the new Powerbeats Pro at an event in Los Angeles. The picture was taken by Adam Pantozzi, a photographer based in Los Angeles. Apple has been known for giving out some of their products to athletes for better visibility. The Cupertino giant followed a similar strategy during the FIFA World Cup as many athletes were pictured sporting AirPods and Beats headphones. What's cool is that the company won the brand wars during the world cup without ever shelling out a single penny. You can read all about how Apple won the brand wars during the World Cup here. We can already see Apple following a similar strategy with the Powerbeats Pro as the wireless earbuds are targeted towards athletes and fitness enthusiasts. If you want to know more about Powerbeats Pro you can read all about it here. © Apple The Powerbeats Pro is expected to last longer than before and comes with Apple's new H1 chip that can also be found on the new AirPods. The H1 Chip enables the new AirPods to fire up Siri by simply saying the command “Hey Siri”. The better fitting design is also supposed to reduce sound leakage which has been a known issue with AirPods. The Powebeats Pro is expected to last for up to nine hours or up to 24 hours of playback time with the charging case. The charging case also has a fast-charging feature that can give the earbuds an additional 1.5 hours of usage after five minutes of charge.
  4. Throughout his 15-plus seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA), Lebron James has been considered to be one of the most 'Non-Tradable' basketball players. Every year, each and every NBA franchise wishes to bring the King to their home court and every fan dreams of watching him play in the league wearing their city's colours. His basketball IQ and ability to make the players around him better has made James quickly climb the success ladder in the highly competitive league and his unbelievably well-maintained physical condition has allowed him to remain on top for the better half of the decade. Ironically, his greatness has also become the biggest bane of his future endeavours in the league. In an era of super-teams when gifted athletes like Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry and Demarcus Cousins join hands to come up with the practically undefeatable Golden State Warriors, Lebron's image as the best player in the world has somehow restricted other stars of the game to combine forces with him because of the fear of losing out their legacy under the shadows of someone who is fighting a battle with the ghost of Michael Jordan. This might as well be the reason why the thought of trading Lebron James himself during the league's trade season for a younger star-athlete of the game like Anthony Davis came to the mind of President of the Los Angeles Lakers, Jeanie Buss. © Reuters According to a Bleacher Report report, another theory is that Buss wanted to trade James in order to cut ties with his agent Rich Paul, who, she believed, was the man behind leaking the details of Anthony Davis' trade request to the New Orleans Pelicans. While it sounds outrageous to trade the team's best player based on a grudge with his agent, the Lakers would be foolish to not consider trading an aging Lebron James (who will be 35 years old by the time the next season begins) if they happen to strike a deal with some (maybe the Pelicans) who could offer a younger but similar talent in return. The league seems to come to a complete halt every time there are talks of Lebron James switching team. It is highly likely that the basketball world would freeze once again come off-season when the Lakers try to bring in more talent in hopes of becoming a title contender.
  5. Lebron James, aka 'The King' has been at the pinnacle of competitive basketball for more than a decade. The 34-year-old continues to show the same level of athleticism and strength as back in 2003, his rookie year. While most of the NBA players of Lebron's age are considered to be 'veterans' assuming the job of a role-player in their teams, James is still one of the leading MVP contenders of the league. The three-time NBA champion has been considered to be one of the greatest ballers in the world and is giving the all-time NBA legend Michael Jordan a run for his money for the 'Best Ever'. Everything the man has achieved, he's achieved through sheer commitment and against the strongest of opponents. Be it the 2012 All-Star-studded Boston Celtics or the 2016 Golden State Warriors, who went 73-9 in regular season, James has been able to outdo all of them. Lebron was nicknamed 'the King of the East' as he won eight consecutive Eastern-conference titles and made it to the NBA Finals every year since 2010, before he moved to the West to join what is probably the most prestigious and celebrated team in the history of the league, the Los Angeles Lakers. View this post on Instagram ð¤ð­.. #headbandthoughts A post shared by LeBron James (@kingjames) on Nov 7, 2018 at 8:50am PST What makes Lebron James stand out of the lot is not only his on-court brilliance but the amount of social work he does for the underprivileged and the less fortunate. While other athletes waste their money on expensive cars and unreasonably huge mansions, James realises the power his position in the society actually possesses. “I mean too much to the society, I mean too much to the youth, I mean too much to so many kids who feel like they don't have a way out. I will not just shut up and dribble,” James said in a pre-game interview. He's been using his popularity to reach out to the masses and deal with some of the most adverse socio-political issues of our time. Not shying away from showing his disapproval towards the current US President Donald Trump, James has, time and again, challenged the condescending notions put towards the African-Americans to the best of his abilities. Raised by a single parent and coming from humble beginnings, James understands the importance of education and hard work in life. As a gesture of giving back to his community, the 14-time NBA All-Star opened the 'I Promise' elementary school in his hometown of Akron, Ohio in July this year with a motto that reads, “Nothing is given. Everything is earned,” which echoes his take on life.

  7. Perhaps no other player has made an impact in the NBA in the last decade like LeBron James. The numbers speak for themselves - three NBA championships, four NBA Most Valuable Player Awards, three NBA Finals MVP Awards, three NBA All-Star Game MVP Awards, two Olympic gold medals, an NBA scoring title, and the NBA Rookie of the Year Award. Born on December 30, 1984 in Akron, Ohio, LeBron picked up the game at an early age. This happened when his mother allowed him to move in with the family of Frank Walker, a local youth football coach. LeBron was 9 when he was introduced to the sport. © Thinkstock/Getty Images The talent was beginning to show from his school years, where he averaged 21 points per game and there was no doubt hes destined for the big things. It happened in 2003 when Cleveland Cavaliers picked him in the NBA draft. He was also the first pick of the draft. His first stint with them was till 2010. He rejoined them in 2014. In the interim he was with Miami Heat. With over 31,000 career points to his credit, if he stays around long enough he could break the all-time record held by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (38,387) and won't it be something if he gets there. © Thinkstock/Getty Images Blessed with a good height, speed and agility, these are facets which form a core of a successful basketball player and LeBron is clearly that. The man is 33, but is showing no signs of stopping. When he moved to Heat in 2010, it was not well received as they seemed to be showing off a little too much. Opposing fan bases had it in for them, and it was not a good time to be LeBron James that's for sure. His form suffered, there was a dip in average points per game as well. But the man bounced back with a vengeance as he won consecutive championships with them in 2012 and 2013, and pretty much regained whatever respect he had lost. In 2014 he returned to Cleveland and since then has stayed on. He has until June 29 to decide if he will stay the final year of his contract. © Thinkstock/Getty Images Thanks to his efforts, they made it to the finals in 2015 and took the title in 2016. This was the city's first professional sports title in 52 years and it was the first team in NBA history to come back from a 3–1 series deficit in the Finals. In 2015, he was the sixth highest earning sportsperson and in 2016 he was 3rd, just behind Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. His dream is to own a team in the NBA in the future. While in recent years the man has faced injury and the future is uncertain, LeBron had always been a fighter and is not going anywhere at the moment. Who knows, maybe the best is yet to come?
  8. As the Congress is to the BJP in the Indian sub-contient, when it comes to opposing formal wear theories for men, a few famous (and daring) humans — like LeBron James — are already spearheading a rebellion of sorts. Call it their style demeanor or a simple playoff in custom-made Thom Browne suits, the Cleveland Cavaliers have been up to some good shit lately. Their game aside, off the court, the stellar suits they've been wearing left, right and centre (that only come with hand bags worth a few hefty dollars) deserve a mention today. After all, they fit faine (in fact, pretty fine), cause a hurricane among the paparazzi and land up on most global websites. The story's no different here. But what makes these outfits, if we may — style cases to consider — is the presence of the separates involved. Like this one here, that's basically just a pair of shorts with a suit on LeBron James: This is why you lost. But takes notes on the euro fashion – @thombrowneny shorts suit, socks, boots & bag. Still a MVP in every way – a one man team but still not a Warrior. I say they'll reach Game 7 tho. . . . . . . #lebronjames #kingjames #lbj #lebron #mvp #thombrowne #newyorkfashion #thombrowneshoes #thombrowneny #mensclothing #menstyle #menstyleguide #highfashion #barneysnewyork #barneysman #styleinspo #menwithstyle #luxuryfashion #tomford #menslook #nbastyle #nbaplayoffs #nbafinals #cavs #cavaliers #highsnobiety #gq #complex #gqstyle #celebritystyle A post shared by Hype af (@malefashionstudio) on May 31, 2018 at 10:14pm PDT Think of this as the rule of the jungle from today, but no, LeBron doesn't wear trousers with a suit. It's a suit — your staple boardroom uniform — but looks like, it's on a holiday. And, though that doesn't mean it belongs to the beach (thanks to Thom Browne's incredible tailoring), it's not for your next client meeting either. Let's just say, this is what King James likes to wear. And if you're waiting to cop it in your life, we'd bless you with some tolerance. Because people will talk. Remarks will be made. You are, after all, wearing a pair of freaking shorts with a suit. So keep calm and carry on. ä»å¤©çä¸åæ¥ä¸çéæ¼ #NBA 總å è»è³½çæ°èè¨æ¯ï¼éç¶ #LeBronJames å¨å ´çè½ 51 åã8ç±æ¿ã8 å©æ»ï¼åµä¸å人ç涯å è»è³½å¾åæ°é«ï¼å¯æä¾èæªè½å¸¶é çéååã ç¡è«å¦ä½ï¼èº«æ好çç±çå¡ç©¿æ­£è£ç¸½æ¯è½å¸å¼ä¸å°äººçç®åï¼ç±å¶ LBJ 壯碩çé«æ ¼ç©¿èµ· Thom Browne å¥æä¸çªé¢¨å³ï¼æ´é«æ´æº¢çèè¬çæ°£å¢è硬派ç紳士åæ ¼ã Editor / @alfiehsu888 Info / 網路 #mensunotw #mensuno #LBJ #ThomBrowne #sporty #sportystyle #gentleman #gentlemanstyle #menswear #fashionstyle #trendy #lifestyle A post shared by men's uno Taiwan (@mensunotw) on May 31, 2018 at 10:38pm PDT Broken down, LeBron slipped into a charcoal grey twill suit here (with shorts), paired with a classic white dress shirt, a just-slim-enough necktie and socks, leather boots and an alligator Browne bag to go along. The fit in totality was an absolute nail — a feature that's a staple of the brand and co-exists in the lives of all their employees and of course, was a little skinny.

Casually labelled as the shortest suit in the history of fashion by us, though LeBron James' style move here is a stellar one, we're not sure of it trickling down to Indian men, yet. In most settings in India, even today, trousers are irreplaceable. And though, personally, we're 110% down for this style move on James, let's admit: it's not for everyone. The decision is yours, the tailor's around the corner and we'd suggest, you do whatever the hell you want.

  10. Jan 12, 2018; Indianapolis, IN, USA; Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James (23) shoots the ball in the first quarter against the Indiana Pacers at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Mandatory Credit: Trevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY Sports ?Note language that may offend some readers in the fourth paragraph Basketball star LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers said on Monday President Donald Trump has emboldened racists in the United States and urged the country not to allow itself to be divided along racial lines. ?The guy in control has given people and racism ... an opportunity to be out and outspoken without fear,? James, a frequent Trump critic, told reporters prior to the Cavaliers? game against the Golden State Warriors on the US holiday honouring civil rights activist Martin Luther King. ?And that?s the fearful thing for us because it?s with you and it?s around every day but he?s allowed people to come out and just feel confident about doing negative things.? Trump has come under fire for reportedly calling some African nations ?shithole countries? during a White House meeting with lawmakers discussing US immigration policy. Trump has denied using such derogatory language, which has led him to be widely condemned by many African leaders and international rights organizations. He told reporters he was ?the least racist person you have ever interviewed.? James said Americans should stand united against hate. ?We can?t allow that to stop us from continuing to be together and preach the right word of living and loving and laughing,? he said. ?Because would we want to live anywhere else? I don?t think so. We love this place.? In August, James, a four-time winner of the National Basketball Association?s most valuable player award, slammed Trump for saying there were ?some very fine people on both sides? of protests spearheaded by white nationalists in Charlottesville, Virginia, which left one counterprotester dead. In September, James called Trump a ?bum? on Twitter after the president withdrew a White House invitation to Warriors guard Stephen Curry, who had said he did not want to meet with Trump to celebrate the Warriors NBA 2016-2017 championship. San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, another outspoken Trump critic, on Monday called racism America?s ?national sin? and said he did not take Trump at his word. ?Every time I hear someone say they are not a racist, you know they are,? he told reporters.
  11. Boasting of three NBA championships, four NBA Most-Valuable-Player awards, three NBA Finals MVP awards, two Olympic gold medals, an NBA scoring title, and the NBA Rookie of the Year award, it's no secret that LeBron James has literally won everything there is in the biggest professional basketball league on the planet. James is considered by many people – including his fellow players – to be the "face of the NBA". His opinions have yielded significant influence on important league decisions; for example, in 2014 he asked commissioner Adam Silver to increase the duration of the All-Star break, and the request was granted the following season. On February 13, 2015, James was elected the first Vice President of the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA). Throughout his career, James has been ranked by Forbes as one of the world's most-influential athletes, and in 2017, he was listed by Time as one of the 100 most influential people in the world. And, it was no surprise to see King James feature on the second spot in the 2017 Forbes Fab 40 list. © Reuters At an estimated brand value of $33.4 million, the 32-year-old Cleveland Cavaliers star is only behind 19-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer who leads the list with $37.2 million to his name in brand value. According to the list, 'an athlete's brand value is their earnings (excluding salary and bonus from their sport and all investment income), minus the average income of the top 10 athletes in the same sport.' Golfer Tiger Woods and Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli also feature at the sixth and seventh spot on the list. But, while everyone is wondering how a failed golfer still rakes in the moolah and just how big Kohli's brand has become, it's James who catches our attention. He refused to shake hands with his opponents after the 2009 East Finals. He sparked an outrage amongst Cleveland fans in 2010 and has even accused US President Donald Trump of making hate "fashionable", before calling him a "bum". James has had his fair share of controversies, but he has still managed to maintain his brand value while his fan-following continues to go upwards. So how does he do it? Well, here are his twin innovations: the strategic use of contract length to maximize leverage and a comprehensive media strategy that takes player content directly to an audience. © Reuters During his first stint with the Cavaliers, he was adored by local fans, with Sherwin-Williams displaying a giant Nike-produced banner of James on its world headquarters. Despite their affection for James, Cleveland fans and critics were frequently annoyed when he attended Cleveland Indians baseball games versus the New York Yankees sporting a Yankees hat. Following his actions during the 2010 free agency period and, more specifically, The Decision, he was listed as one of the world's most disliked athletes. His move to Miami Heat had already irked plethora of Cavaliers fans. Many even called him a traitor for leaving Cleveland that supported and nurtured him for seven years. But then, playing for a side for as long as seven years in your prime and not winning the Championship once, surely had James worried. © Reuters However, despite all the hatred, James wasn't the one to back down. He did all the talking on the court and channelised all his aggression to shape his career. And, in 2012, his efforts and hard work finally paid off when he literally conquered the world of basketball. That year, James won the NBA Championship with Miami, was named the Most Valuable Player in NBA Finals, bagged NBA MVP award, got selected in NBA All-Star team and, to top it all, clinched the Olympic gold medal with Team USA in London. By 2013, his image had mostly recovered and he was reported by ESPN as the most popular player in the NBA for the second time in his career. In 2014, he was named the most popular male athlete in America by the Harris Poll. He has also led the NBA league in jersey sales six times. © Reuters As claimed by The Ringer, 'in the post-Jordan era, the pursuit of greatness has mainly been portrayed as suffering in the service of murderous dominance.' Whether it was soft-spoken Tim Duncan who transformed into a beast the moment he stepped on the court or the gregarious Shaquille O'Neal who ripped into opposition's defence like a walk in the park, in the end, theirs have always been a quest that has fed predominantly on their on-court controlled aggression for the solemn purpose of winning titles. Similarly, James celebrates the journey to greatness as a destination unto itself. An absolute cracker of a small forward with undying hunger to score on court, James is gleefully snarling in his over-the-top-extra workout videos. He raps in his car on the way to gym and lifts weights in the predawn gloom with his bestie Dwayne – all of which is evident on his social media accounts. And, that's what makes him the brand he is today. A superman on the court (marketeer's wet dream), and a graceful human being off it (something every single fan can connect with).
  12. LeBron James ? #23 of the Cleveland Cavaliers ? talks to the media during Media Day at Cleveland Clinic Courts, Independence, Ohio, September 25, 2017. AFP/Jason Miller/Getty Images LOS ANGELES: LeBron James said Monday he did not regret branding President Donald Trump a "bum", accusing the US leader of dividing the nation in his feud with the sports world. NBA star James had taken aim at Trump on Twitter on Saturday after the president withdrew a White House invitation to the champion Golden State Warriors and star player Stephen Curry. "U bum @StephenCurry30 already said he ain't going! So therefore ain't no invite. Going to White House was a great honor until you showed up!" James wrote. Asked if he regretted his choice of words on Monday, the Cleveland Cavaliers star gave a blunt response: "No." In a press conference at the Cavaliers' pre-season media day, James repeatedly referred to Trump as "that guy", saying he had failed to bring the country together. "We know this is the greatest country in the world, this is the land of the free," James said. "But we still have problems just like everybody else. And when we have those problems, we have to figure out a way to come together and be as great as we can be as a people. "Because the people run this country. Not one individual ? and damn sure, not him," James added, referring to Trump. James ? the highest profile star in the NBA ? said Trump's reaction to NFL players who protest during the national anthem showed he did not know how to lead the nation. "He doesn't understand the power that he has for being the leader of this beautiful country," James said. "He doesn't understand how many kids, no matter the race, look up to the President of the United States for guidance, for leadership, for words of encouragement. "He doesn't understand that. That's what makes me more sick than anything," added James, insisting that Trump had misunderstood the nature of the NFL protests, which were launched by former San Francisco 49ers quarterback to draw attention to racial injustice. "It's not about disrespect for the flag and military and people who served," he said. "It's about equality and having the option and freedom to speak about things they feel are unjust."
  13. Cleveland Cavaliers' LeBron James. - Fortune.com Professional basketball player LeBron James has called President Donald Trump a bum after a White House invitation for the Cleveland Cavaliers player was rescinded, reported CBS Sports James took to Twitter to express his displeasure towards the president and said that visiting the White House was no longer the honour it once was with Trump in office. James has been a vocal critic of Trump and his presidency and has referred to him as a "so called" president during the Charlottesville riots. The professional NBA player's tweet continues the trend by not only James but also the NBA as a whole of speaking up when they feel its necessary. James has won three NBA championships and has also won two Olympic gold medals apart in addition to four NBA Most Valuable Player Awards.
  14. Golden State Warriors star Kevin Durant denied deliberately staring down singer-actress Rihanna, a devout LeBron James fan, in the NBA Finals opener, but his glance in her direction stirred the internet. Durant scored 38 points on 14-of-26 shooting with eight rebounds and eight assists to power the Warriors over James and the defending champion Cleveland Cavaliers 113-91 in game one of the best-of-seven series Thursday at Oakland. The moment that seemed to send sparks flying between the celebrity and the NBA star forward came late in the fourth quarter after the ball was stolen from James and Golden State's Stephen Curry flipped a pass to Durant, standing in front of Rihanna's courtside seat. Durant sank an uncontested 3-pointer and as he turned upcourt, swung a glance toward the 29-year-old Barbados-born Grammy Award winner. Asked about the moment, Durant said, "I don't even remember that." Told social media was buzzing about the move, Durant replied, "Really?" Curry, sitting beside Durant, interjected, "Don't get into that trap, man." "Yeah, I won't get into that," Durant said. "I'm cool. Have fun with that." Much fun was definitely had. Some reports had Rihanna heckling Durant before a free throw earlier in the game. But television replays showed it was Rihanna's long-time friend and assistant, Jenn Rosales, seated next to her, who shouted out "Brick." After making the third-quarter free throw, Durant shot a stare in Rihanna's direction, setting the stage for the later 3-pointer gaze. It's not Rihanna has not made her loyalties clear, tweeting an image of her gazing at a huge photo of James holding the NBA trophy in last year's victory celebration. Rihanna walked past television commentator Jeff Van Gundy to her seat at one stage, momentarily flummoxing the analyst. And she made her allegiance clear to spectators by bowing to James at one stage when he rushed past during the game. Rihanna also dismissed hecklers with a wave and a "dab" arm move at another stage. Durant has tweeted in the past his attraction to Rihanna, saying in 2011 he would wish to marry her. But even with Golden State's lopsided triumph, Durant's affections appear to be doomed. As she walked out of Oracle Arena past the Cavaliers locker room, Rihanna yelled, "The King is still The King," a reference to James's nickname. James is playing in his seventh consecutive NBA Finals and eighth overall, having gone 3-4 in prior appearances with Cleveland and Miami. Durant still seeks his first NBA crown after leaving Oklahoma City for Golden State last July. He reached the finals with the Thunder in 2012, only to lose to the James-lead Miami Heat. Rihanna will appear as a shape-shifting entertainer named Bubble in a movie to be released next month, Valerian and the City of A Thousand Planets.
