Does Lebron’s Entourage Hurt Him?

Lebron James is gracing the cover of the September issue of GQ magazine.  Besides the usual stuff about “The Decision” and how he feels about Cleveland. (he never cared for the city growing up… oh ok ::rolls eyes::) The writer, J.R. Moehringer offered a side prospective about what he observed in the 3 weeks he spent with Lebron for this piece.

What he saw of Lebron’s inner circle and their interactions:

“Well, he was surrounded by a layer of family, then a layer of old friends, and then a layer of Nike people—so Cleveland was where I really got the sense that he is possibly, really insulated from the outside world. All famous people have entourages and inner circles, but this struck me as something larger, even more protective, and harder to break through. I got the sense also that it might’ve been what kept him from gauging the mood in the real world as people waited for his decision. He really did seem to be at the center of an enormous group of handlers, helpers, and managers—and I’m sure that makes him feel good on a day-to-day basis, but there’s a downside to that, too.”

Kinda Sexy right??
