WRIGLEYVILLE — LeBron James could be making his debut shortly in a Cubs uniform.
No, King James isn't pulling a Michael Jordan and taking up baseball. But he has accepted a sartorial wager from Bulls guard Dwayne Wade on the outcome of the Chicago-Cleveland World Series.
Wade issued the challenge to James via Twitter last week: "Here goes that World Series bet everybody's been waiting for."
The terms are this: The player whose team loses in the series has to dress in the winner's uniform when the Bulls and Cavs meet during the NBA season.
"If the Chicago Cubs win, in December when Cleveland comes to Chicago, you have to show up when you walk into the arena dressed as a Chicago Cub," Wade said.
If the unthinkable happens and Cleveland wins, Wade will suit up in an Indians uniform — from the hat "all the way down to the sneaks" — when the Bulls visit the Cavaliers in January.
