Sometimes it's good to have an alternative opinion though. It wasn't very well supported but being someone who works in the news industry I actually could see how it very well could have been for PR reasons. Not that he wouldn't have been running anyways because I'm confident he IS working his ass off but the location could have everything to do with it. Right next to a basketball tourny not near his home?\ However, logistical reasons could have been behind it. Such as he met his trainer somewhere or had another reason like meeting someone before or afterward. Another thing to look at would be his image. Does he really need to stoop to that level? If a star like him wanted to make an impact on the event he would have shown his face to the tourny and gotten in the papers with it.
