Remember last year, when the world seemed to come down on LeBron James when he rocked that Yankee hat at Jacob’s Field during game 1 of the ALDS between the Bombers and his hometown club the Cleveland Indians. We all thought the Cleveland fans got the last laugh when their team gave the Yankees an early vacation with their 3-1 series win. Upon further review, maybe its James who’ll laugh last, or at least his beloved Yankees who according to James’ new shoes will be “Fresh for ’08 Suckers!”James has partnered with Nike to create the Air LeBron V shoe which "features New York's famed pinstripes as well as James' No. 23" that shows even famous basketball players are just fans underneath it all. Along with the pinstripes, "Le-Bron Ja-Mes. Clap. Clap. Clap. Clap Clap Clap" is written under the tongue, a nod to the role call performed by the bleacher creatures that populate Yankee Stadium. I wonder if he'll have to contastanly turn around and acknowledge his fans everytime they yell "Le-Bron Ja-Mes" in Cleveland or will he only do that when he's in New York. I can hear the phone lines ringing in Cleveland now, as fans once again berate their all-star forward.
