Quote of Note | Sports Illustrated's Chris Hercik

“The previous covers that we’ve published of LeBron have tended to be more serious and introspective—so I knew this cover had to be lighter, both in tone and mood. This photo of LeBron that Jeffery Salter took shows that genuine moment of relief and enjoyment. Throughout the playoffs, you could see the intensity and the ‘weight of the world’ on LeBron’s face. This cover needed to be the opposite.
