LeBron covers GQ's November issue.

LeBron James is the cover star of GQ Magazine's November issue, which contains an in-depth interview discussing a variety of topics including LeBron Inc., Michael Jordan, Cleveland, race and President Trump.

The Cavs' 32-year old forward also addressed an incident during the playoffs last season, where his house in California was vandalized with the N-word.

He tells GQ,

"True colors will show, and it showed for me during the playoffs, where my house in Brentwood, California, one of the fucking best neighborhoods in America, was vandalized with, you know, the N-word. And that shit puts it all back into perspective. So do I use my energy toward that? Or do I now shed a light on how I can use this negative to turn into a positive, because so many people are looking for what I'm going to say. I had a conversation with my kids. I let them know this is what it is, this is how it's going to be. When it's time for y'all to fly, you'll have to understand that. When y'all go out in public and y'all start driving or y'all start moving around, be respectful to cops, as much as you can. When you get pulled over, call your mom or dad, put it on speakerphone, and put your phone underneath the seat. But be respectful the whole time."

As most of you already know, LeBron and the Cleveland Cavaliers will kick off the 2018 NBA regular season tonight at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland against Kyrie Irving and the new-look Boston Celtics. Tip off is scheduled for 8:00pm ET, the game will air on TNT.
