I think that the person who wrote that article is way too overly critical of a simple photo. Lebron poses like that in most of the magazine covers he has been on except sports magazines. But if u want me to be overly critical as well, yes I can see what the author of the magazine is saying with the picture. But it is simply one perspective. This image could also be viewed as derogatory to women if one wanted to see that. Instead of the man being an animal, he could be a fierce warrior, the sport of basketball being his battle ground and his athletic clothes being his battle gear. Since we all know lebron is a superior athlete we can translate this to him being a superior warrior and giselle being a docile fair looking woman could be just another one of his conquests. His prize for being successful in battle. But that is just another overly critical perspective. In my opinion they are just posing in the ways that they appear in their fields of work, lebron as an intense and competitive basketball player and giselle as a beautiful model.

I don’t even think either of them knew that the pose they were making would end up that way.. I’m an art director, and it looks to me that they were photoshoped together… The shadows tell it all.. Art Directors do this all the time, you wouldn’t even know..Most models don’t know what has been printed until it hits the shelf… So get off Lebron and the model chic, it aint that serious…

@ C.C.

Well everybody is different and is attracted to different featurs in a person.

I am white and I personally would rather have an ugly black man than an ugly white man.

@The Swirl King.

You should also know that there are many who believe that no matter what a white man looks like, he will always look better than you. If you beleive for a black woman, then you must beleive it for yourself.
