CHICAGO — LeBron James is a Cubs fan.
Sorta.
The Cleveland Cavaliers' James made a bet with the Bulls' Dwyane Wade for the World Series: If the Cubs won, LeBron would have to don a team uniform. If the Cleveland Indians won, Wade would have to wear Indians gear.
James, an Akron, Ohio, native, is an Indians Superfan who hammed it up in a Cleveland luxury suite during the World Series and flexed his muscles when things looked up for his guys. Wade is a Robbins native and a proud Chicagoan.
Well, the Cubs won (breaking the 108-year drought), and LeBron has paid up — though he doesn't look too happy about it:
