This sounds like something Lebron payed someone to write.  But it's a nice story anyways.

Definitely a cool thing to do.

But military guys in helicopters are pretty cool too.  If I was one of the Heat players, I would probably be asking if I could take pictures in front of (or even in) the helicopters.  Win/win for all involved.

And I would even take it a step further If I'm LeBron, "Hey guys, who wants to take me up in a helicopter?".  And once you're up there, you think a star-struck military guy could say no to LeBron if LeBron asked to take the controls for a moment.  Oh the things I would try to take advantage of if I were famous...  8)

Lebron has always been a nice guy but he is still self-involved.

He has a new marketing team after the debacle that was, "The Decision". Thats also why a couple weeks ago when he crushed that little kid in the first row who was crying he came back later and apologized. His first initial decision was to walk away and say nothing. A little birdy in his ear re-thought that for him. Its clear the media is trying to rebrand him now as a nice guy once again. Just my observation..

He just wanted to be loved and thought to be important. That's his deal.

I fall into the trap of always wanting to dismiss this kinda stuff as PR. And maybe it is, but at the end of the day he still did it, and it probably will be one of the more memorable moments in these guys lives. That's a positive, anyway you look at it.

Thanks for the post, stb.

Not a bad move by Lebron at all.

Honestly, some people really need to grow up. I don't care if you aren't a fan of LeBron James (I have problems with him), but when it gets to the point where, when he actually does something genuinely nice, you sulk cynically at your computer, trying desperately to spin it in any possible way to make him look bad, then YOU are the one with the problem.

Which is ironic, for a bunch of people who think LeBron is the self-involved, immature one.  ::)

We're grown ups here. Act like it, for cripe's sake.

He may be a nice guy, but he's still a Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.bag! :P

Lebron James is a genuinely nice guy, who never gets in trouble (on or off the court), etc.  Sure a lot of the stuff he does is because he wants to be liked (but is that really so bad) and for his image, but the disdain and hate of Lebron James isn't warranted at all.

Its kind of hard for me to like Lebron, ive never been a fan of him or any of his teams, and I cant stand the Miami Heat, I could care what he does off the court, I dont like him and I dont understand why, I just dont and I want my team to beat his.

Ya. I don't like him one bit; on or off the court. But I do think he's capable of doing nice things.

LeBron has one major character flaw and it is that he is an egomaniac...doesnt mean he is a terrible person or he is evil.
