Lebron James S63 @ Cleveland Auto Show

I snapped a few pictures and the guys at North Olmsted Performance let me get some closer ones with the 1 off video system for the designo interior, which he got to match the Maybach 57S plate is King of Akron, pretty cool setup on the 63 when they had video on all three screens being different, well 4 when the night vision in the cluster was on.

Dude, chill, he didn't create the moniker "King James".

NBA sportscasters/magazines made the name.

The dude is one of the best players the league has seen thus far. He's worthy of the accolades they gave him. Check the stats.

He's just saying "King [James]of OH[io]".

I'm not a L.James fan and I seldom watch b-ball, I just think the guy has accomplished quite a bit for his age.

The white rims aren't the best but at least they're not chromed out 24inch-somethings.

I thought it was better than Saint James, with as much as he gives a way to charity... imagining rolling the Maybach and seeing ST JAMES for the plates

I "witnessed" both vehicles driving around the complex at night, I can honestly say the white rims look great on both, standing still however... I rather see some Brabus rims on there like a set of polished monoblock VI's or an HRE

Yeah, okay but you don't have to announce yourself to everyone with a vanity plate. If you did, I'd have Mr12in on my licence plates.

i am also very sickened by these names he gives himself. and it makes me even more sick to know these people are getting paid HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS to play a sport, especially when theirs people like my father who have worked their whole life, hard and diligently, and dont have this kind of money. i like lebron james as a basketball player, but i do not like him as person. he is full of himself, and has an ego problem. the economy is horrid because these athletes are getting paid XXX,XXX,XXX$ to play GAMES. it sickens me.

Do any of you personally know Lebron James??

Are you assuming he has an ego problem just because?

At least he has a decent taste in cars and he doesn't "bling bling" them up.

Wow did you reall y just blame the economy on basketball players getting paid X amount of millions? First of all they get paid the money they do because they can do what probably 99.5% of the members on this forum cant do. Secondly, they entertain a massive audience of people, of course they should get paid that amount for what they do. Do some get paid more than they deserve, yes of course, but so do some CEOs, Managers and other workers. How bout instead of saying hes this and that, why dont you get a talent as rare and as good as his and use it to make 100 million dollars? Some of you people are massive haters, the guy is a class act and has done more for the city of cleveland than the past few mayors that city has had. Cleveland was a joke before he showed up, he gives kids in that city hope, and an actual role model instea of Bones thugs, or drew carey the only other thing cleveland is known for.

You seem awfully focused on my ******.

I'll assume you either:
A. Did not get the humor of my post.
B. You're angry at anyone with a large member.
C. Both A and B



PS The above was tongue-in-cheek.................so relax Sir Charles.

Man, I walked through that area and missed it. Is that the car he was driving when he got his speeding ticket a couple months ago? I couldn't believe how much media attention that got. Anyway, he's a good guy who does a lot for his community.
