So technically it doesn't matter how sucky their shoes are at the stores... they won't really know how it really feels to the general public. I have the old LeBrons that I got last year and those are COMFY as hell. So I can imagine how much more comfy it is for Lebron. That's the last time I'm getting his shoes tho, not really supporting that guy anymore (plus it was on massive sale). I tried various Tmacs but they hurt my feet for some reason.
Lebron has never struck me as a humble guy, or a likable guy for that matter. I remember recently he had interview on ESPN, and they were asking him about his role as an ambassador - he was already comparing himself along the greats of Muhammad Ali. I don't think in the history of philanthropic athletes, and even those of have achieved great things have ever alluded themselves to someone of that stature even if their achievements could be comparable to Ali's.
