Guide Note:
LeBron James and Gisele Bundchen are featured on the April 2008 cover of Vogue Magazine. The cover has become controversial because some people feel that the image promotes racial stereo types, comparing it to a scene from King Kong. The cover features James in what some are calling a "gorilla like pose, baring his teeth, with one hand dribbling a ball and the other around Bundchen's tiny waist". But others feel that James was just showing some emotion when the picture was taken. Fast Facts:

- "Portfolio's Jeff Bercovici makes a worthwhile point: 'Had the exact same photo of James appeared on the cover of ESPN The Magazine, sans Bundchen, no one would've batted an eye; conversely, had Vogue paired the two but had him calm and smiling, the stereotype police would probably still have sounded the alarm, albeit in smaller numbers.'"
