Lebron James Says He Stopped Wearing A Headband Because He Wants To Look Like His Teammates And Is Tired Of Trying To FIT OUT And Ready To FIT IN
Quick note – if you don’t like the Lebron hate just go ahead and avoid Barstool Chicago for the next 2 weeks because I’m bringing it every single day. I’m doing my part to help win this series, are you? (My part has no impact except in my brain)
LeBron James‘ decision to ditch his patented headband stemmed from a desire to match his Cleveland Cavaliers teammates, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. “I did it because I just wanted to look like my teammates,” LeBron James told the Cleveland Plain Dealer of his decision to ditch his signature headband.
James started a game sans headband against the Mavericks in Dallas on March 10, the first time he had done so since the 2003 preseason as a rookie, and has gone without the headgear ever since. “I did it because I just wanted to look like my teammates,” James told the Cleveland Plain Dealer. “Just wanted to be one. Nothing more than that.” Upon hearing his teammate’s reasoning, Cavaliers guard Mike Miller said with a laugh, “Well, that’s the only way he can [look like us] because I can’t get away with wearing a headband.”
James first took off his headband in the second quarter of Cleveland’s March 7 home game against the Suns and never put it back on against Phoenix, saying afterward, “It just happened.”Not even coach David Blatt knew if it was a conscious decision by King James to go without the headband the entire night against Dallas.
“But I’m liking it,” Blatt said at the time. “He played a great game.” James and the short-handed Cavaliers, who lost Kevin Love for the remainder of the postseason to a dislocated shoulder and J.R. Smith for two games, are preparing to face the Chicago Bulls in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series on Monday.

Lebron - Stop. I’m tired off this headband, I’m tired of not looking like you guys. From now on we’re a team, a team with no headbands. I’m ready to FIT IN. Everyone put their hands in the middle, Fit In on 3. 1.2.3
Cavs – FIT IN
End scene, Cavs go on to win title and Lebron is crowned MVP for his heroic headbandless performances.
Yup, that’s just about how I imagine Lebron seeing this whole thing go down. What a fucking guy, just sick and tired of not looking like his teammates. Done trying to find a way to FIT-OUT and decides it’s time to FIT-IN. What a Champion, what a teammate. Cavs in 4, not even sure why the Bulls are showing up tonight.
PS
Hey wait a second, just realized something so it might be dumb because I haven’t really thought it all the way through but hear me out. You don’t think Lebron going without a Headband has anything to do with his new hair plugs do you? Nahhhhh, silly me. So dumb Big Cat, obviously just because he wants to be an awesome teammate.
