LeBron James snaps pictures with London fans in the Nike Flyknit Trainer - Examiner.com

LeBron James might be preparing to defend Team USA Basketball's gold medal during the London Olympics, but that does not mean he should not take some time out to enjoy the sights and sounds of the host city. Still basking in the glory of his first NBA championship, James has really undergone a transformation during the summer. Now that the pressure is off him winning a title, he can go back to the happy go-lucky personality that permeated during his early playing days that endeared him to people.

What this also means is that he has gone back to being a professional goofball. From taking pictures with newlyweds to a pair of fans in the streets of London, LeBron has definitely become a more gracious star. What is interesting to note about his encounter with the London fans was what was on his feet.

While rocking a throwback Raider snapback cap and a black and volt Nike training gear, James was pictured in the recently released Nike Flyknit Trainer in the volt colorway. The super comfortable shoes have been getting plenty of positive reviews for their great fit and breathability, not to mention their environmentally responsible construction.

Assuming the US does make it to the medal stand (if they don't, it would be the upset of the century), they will do so in special colorways of Nike shoes, one of which is the volt colorway of the Nike Flyknit Trainer. So not only did LeBron get the Flyknit some free publicity, but he also got a feel for them before he got up to the podium.

NBA Rumors: LeBron James' Son Bronny Is on Draft Boards of 'Multiple Teams'

Chris Coduto/Getty Images Bronny James' USC team has struggled this season, but that reportedly hasn't stopped the NBA interest in the son of legend LeBron James. "When I talk to people around the league, he's on the draft boards of multiple teams," Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium reported Thursday: Charania noted teams around the league believe he is "further along" on the defensive side of the ball than the offensive side, which makes performances like Wednesday's all the more important. The USC freshman finished with 11 points, six assists and five rebounds while shooting 5-of-11 from the field in one of his best offensive showings of the season in a loss to Arizona. The only game that he scored more points in was a Dec. 30 loss to Oregon State when he finished with 15 on 6-of-11 shooting from the field. Perhaps most importantly, James played a season-high 30 minutes against the Wildcats on Wedn...

What Happened to the Rivalry Between LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony? - Bleacher Report

They were two young stars with unique and special abilities on the basketball court. They had recently played in a high-attention scholastic contest against each other. They were both selected in the same draft. The LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony rivalry was supposed to be the best individual rivalry since Magic and Bird. But while the relationship between Bird and Johnson is dramatized in a new Broadway play , Anthony and James will meet for the 15th time in their careers and do so without much fanfare. James and Anthony first met in a USA developmental camp in 2001 . Much like how Johnson raved about Bird after they played together on a college All-Star team playing in an international tournament, James couldn’t stop talking about Anthony. The two squared off in a high school showcase game the following year that pitted the player regarded as the best senior in the country (Anthony) against the one that was the best junior in the country (James), a game Anthony’s team wo...

"So You Think You Can Dance" season 18 ended the first stage of the competition on Monday night, March 18, with the last dance hopefuls looking for a spot in the choreography round. So far the bar has been set pretty high by standout performances from dancers representing a variety of dance styles, shapes, sizes and ability levels. So who stood out among the last crop of contestants? Did the show save the best for last? "We've put 25 people through," said judge Allison Holker at the start of the show. She singled out contemporary dancer Braylon Browner and gymnast Dakayla Wilson as standouts from the first two days of auditions. Comfort Fedoke agreed that Wilson is capable of anything a professional choreographer could throw at her. Maksim Chmerkovskiy was especially impressed by contemporary dancer Easton Magliarditi . But "there's so many other things outside of dance that we're also looking at." More from GoldDerby SEE ...
