Looking at Lebron's pose, I would say that was their intent all along. Of course, I didn't see it as derogatory or racist toward Lebron but a clear depiction of power and beauty. It is what it is, a man-beast countered with a relative frail, beautiful woman.
Somebody ought to get Lebron's honest assessment on the picture before Jesse and Al get to him first.
I Agree. They were going for a Beauty & the Beast photo.
