Essay / Lebron James - 942
Lebron James receives a pass, Lebron James sends the ball over 4 defenders and Lebron James makes one of the easiest layups ever against the Pacers on a buzzer beater in the first quarter! Is Lebron James the perfect man or even the second coming? He has the physique and strength of a 6'9 350 offensive lineman. The speed of an all star running back. He makes more money than a man would need to live an extraordinary life. Followed up with the humility of Jesus Christ himself? This is what women want their men to look like. Is what it would take to be a perfect man. This is what requires exploration and a lot of detail to understand.

The epitome of being considered a perfect man: playing basketball all his life and ending up in a scandal p...... middle of paper ...... shoes, it is very likely that they would choose to abandon their previous lives. This is what young, rich, old, black, white, Hispanic or Asian men dream of being. Well built, with effortless talent and millions of dollars. The media have rarely, even in recent years, taken a negative picture of LeBron James. Men watch sports, which is obviously a stereotypical idea of men and their masculinity. Men also like to play sports video games and even if you were playing NBA 2k14, Lebron is the only player in the games to have a perfect rating. So if you were watching this Nike workout day ad and thinking that doesn't improve the definition of being masculine. You must have a $9 million house with no college degree, a godly body, 2 NBA championships, and the ability to improve with amazing, record-breaking consistency..
