LeBron James shirtless in the Bahamas



What's wrong with the beach at home LeBron?

You'd think LeBron James wouldn't need more turquoise water and white sand, but this weekend the famous basketball player left his new home of Miami Beach for the warm waves of the Bahamas.

The star athlete, 25, was spotted frolicking in the surf with his long-time girlfriend and high school sweetheart, Savannah Brinson, 23.

King James, as he has proclaimed himself, caused widespread public outrage by defecting from his home town team, the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Miami Heat earlier this month. The move could have something to do with the fact the he's expected to earn $100million in wages alone.

Fans were so furious with the player that fans burnt replicas of LeBron's No. 23 Cleveland Cavaliers shirt and hurled rocks at a 10-storey billboard featuring the star after he announced his decision on national TV.

In downtown Cleveland, police were forced to carry out extra patrols to deal with crowds of disappointed supporters.

The day after his revelation, LeBron was booed as he arrived at the wedding of NBA player Carmelo Anthony, 26 and MTV host Lala Vasquez, 30.

But this weekend, the 6ft 8 star player didn't seem to care about any of that. LeBron showed off his fine-tuned physique while jogging on the beach.

He also enjoyed a stroll on the sand with Savannah, with whom he has two children, LeBron James Jr., five, and Bryce Maximus James, aged three.

The family are certainly set to live in glamorous style in the Miami area. LeBron is allegedly buying a $49.5 million estate in Florida, which is known as 'the sunshine state.'

Of the 20,088 square foot mansion, an insider told Life & Style magazine: 'LeBron showed a lot of interest in the house. I think it's a slam-dunk the house is his.'

The source adds: 'The property was taken off the market within hours of LeBron announcing his move to Miami. It's no coincidence.'

Judging by the pictures, LeBron and Savannah are excited about beach life - there's plenty more where that came from!

Ben Cohen for Compete Magazine

Compete magazine is a new sports magazine aimed at the gay market. (Full Interview available here)

COMPETE: You’re the father of three-year old twins, Isabelle and Harriett. Which has proved tougher: chasing them around the house or being chased around the pitch by defenders?
BEN: Having twins is bloody exhausting. No contest.





COMPETE: It’s no secret that you count a large number of gay men among your fans … and you have sort of embraced that. Was there ever any hesitation about “courting” your gay fan base?
BEN: I embrace diversity more than just a gay fanbase. I think that everyone should be able to say, think and feel the way they want to as long as no one else is hurt. I don’t think we have the right to judge what is right and wrong. I am happy and content in my life and feel that everyone should have the opportunity of feeling that way and being true to themselves.

I have never really thought about whether I court a gay fanbase. I actually find it quite amazing that people are so interested in me in that way. I don’t see it myself. But it seems that my acceptance of those who like me makes a big difference to a lot of gay men. I have had numerous e-mails, mainly from young men who have been inspired by me in some way, and so have had the courage to come out to their friends and families and so live fulfilled lives. I have also been told that I have helped parents come around to the fact that their son is gay. I have no idea how I have managed to do that, I have to confess – but if my openness has done that then it seems that it is the right way to be.




unf, such a sexy look


COMPETE: Let’s be honest – many of these fans no nothing of rugby or sports in general. They know you because of your calendars and notoriety as a sex symbol. Any problem with that?
BEN: Ha ha. Yes, I know. I see the comments on facebook and some make me blush.
My friend and colleague Jill looks after that side of things for me so I don’t see too much, but she keeps me up to date with what is going on.
