Is LeBron’s masked look more superhero or villain?
There might have been no stopping LeBron Thursday night against the Knicks, but there was definitely no stopping the outpouring of social media posts fixated on the mask. It was as if the world was bearing witness to a new Marvel character the moment James donned the protective accessory on the floor at American Airlines arena.
The overwhelming reception the mask received is no surprise considering his stature, but it's interesting to look at the possible symbolism surrounding these tweets. It seems that he and his mask are either the makings of a superhero or villain depending on who you ask. ESPN embraced the Bruce Wayne narrative:
