LeBron James' famously receding hair line seems to be headed in the opposite direction these days. Did he get hair plugs? Whatever the reason for LeBron's new follicle progression, he certainly aims to look good when he returns to Cleveland next season. Apparently, though, one Miami radio personality named Dan Le Batard felt like being ugly because his show purchased an insulting billboard in downtown Cleveland. Batard has been suspended by ESPN for the stunt.
Media personality Dan Le Batard purchased a billboard in Cleveland that red "You're Welcome, LeBron. Love, Miami" that is meant to stay up during James' welcome home parade. This stunt was apparently a retaliation for LeBron's perceived lack of grace in his exit from the Heat.
Regardless, ESPN benched Le Batard for embarrassing them (via Miami Herald):
"'Dan will be off the air for two days, returning Monday,' ESPN said in a statement. 'His recent stunt does not reflect ESPN's standards and brand. Additionally, we were not made aware of his plans in advance.' Le Batard's reaction? 'I guess ESPN didn't find it all quite as funny as I did.'"
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, LeBron seems to have a new and improved hairline. Hopefully this doesn't mean he gets rid of the headbands. They look pretty fly. But maybe now he can wear it at the appropriate level on his head.
The question now remains: How did he do it? He's probably keeping a lid on that one (via USA Today):
"Was it Rogaine? Hair plugs? One of those late night infomercials offering a hybrid treatment of lasers, staples, and excess back hair?
"It was probably all of those things, plus a mystical hair incantation, and then a secret government thing we don't even know about. And you know what? LeBron looks great. Do your thing, LeBron."
