LeBron James went with black, full face mask that is psuedo nod to Bane. I guess.

If you had “full face and black” in your office “what mask will LeBron James wear pool”.... well, I’d be a little worried about how much your office gambles. But you’d win.

LeBron had a stylish (I guess) black carbon fiber mask, where he thinks he went Bane, but as noted at The Big Lead this looked more Hannibal Lector. Or he looks like Kobe Bryant in a mask last year.

Either way it doesn’t seem to be slowing him much — LeBron had 13 points on 6-of-8 shooting to start the game as the Heat held a comfortable double-digit lead over the Knicks in the first half (as of the time of this writing). The real star for Miami was Dwyane Wade, who showed up healthy and sharp like he did against Oklahoma City. The Heat have exposed the Knicks transition defense, although to be fair the Knicks have played with good energy in this game.

We’ll have more on this game after it ends.
