LeBron James Pays Off Bet With Dwyane Wade, Wears Cubs Gear

Cavaliers F LeBron James made "good on a bet with former teammate" Bulls G Dwyane Wade when he "wore a Cubs uniform" to United Center before Friday night's Cavaliers-Bulls game. James' pregame attire came "complete with his name and No. 23 on the back." James: "Where I come from if you make a bet and you lose you have to pay up. It's that simple." The levity of James "appearing in full Cubs regalia brought smiles to most everyone in the building." During the second quarter, video and photos of James in the uniform "appeared on the scoreboard monitors and brought cheers from the crowd of 21,775" (CHICAGO TRIBUNE, 12/3). Wade said, "Doesn't he look good, everybody? Look at him, he looks great" (ESPN.com, 12/2).
