LeBron listens to Barry Manilow!!

[nickagneta]

Okay, LeBron just got a whole lot more likable in my book. Barry Manilow is definitely one of my guilty pleasures when it comes to music tastes.

I too have "Mandy" and "Copacabana" on the iPod. Now if he admitted to having some old time Johnny Cash I think I could actually start routing for him, well when not playing the Celtics, of course.

That would be cool if he had some Cash but he doesn't get any extra respect from me for having Manilow.

This thread immediately made me think of this...

He'd need a lot more than Barry Manilow and Johnny Cash to make me root for him.

Hmmm... Does this dispel some of the front runner conspiracy theories about who Lebron is a fan of?

Or does it add fuel to the fire?

Yankees, Cowboys, MANILOW

Did someone at SBNation put up that Barry Manilow advertisement on purpose?

Ooops now it's a weight loss ad.

I think I missed the memo that said Celtics fans can't root on LeBron. Oh well.

You didn't. I just don't root for LeBron because I think he's a tool and because he's not a Celtic.

'You think Barry watches LeBron?

It's not you a lot of Celtics fans seem not to like him or root against him.

If two years from now he wants to sign here to help the Celtics defend their third straight championship, I root for him then!

I guess this is why he is so sensitive when he gets hit going to the basket...you know, crying all the time.

I have always respected Lebron, but the Manilow revelation is a big minus for me.

I used to not like him.  I like him more and more though.  I can't stand the Witness ads or the King James stuff -- I find all that too cheezy and marketing-ey.  He is really fun to watch though, and seems to have a good attitude about things.  Also, he doesn't get calls his way as much as one might think given that he is the Savior.

But all that aside..... Barry Manilow!??!!!
