LeBron's "Image" problem?

ESPN.com Page 2 columnist Jamele Hill had some serious issues with the way LeBron posed on the cover of Vogue magazine.

In case you haven't seen the cover, LeBron has Gisele in one hand and a basketball in the other. LeBron is dressed in basketball gear, with his muscles flexing, tattoos showing and bared teeth. Gisele, on the other hand, is wearing a gorgeous slim-fitting dress, and smiling.

She looks like she's on her way to something fashionable and exciting. He looks like he's on his way to a pickup game for serial killers.
And she says this after noting how careful LeBron normally is with his image, the way he dresses, acts, and speaks off the court. I suppose she has some interesting points, at least.
