Le Bron James - Mustachian qualities

This guy pulls in $25M a year and he will only use his phone in a wif-fi zone. I like him already.

... on his yacht?

I mean, he seems to be very business-focused, far beyond his athletic career, which is great, but the cell phone thing seems more like a quirk.

Wade went to point out the hypocrisy of LeBron owning a yacht and flying on a private jet, but "drawing the line" at data roaming charges, which, to be fair, is something to be concerned about.

How many pools does his boat have? It's probably a very mustachian yacht.

He was known for riding his bike to the arena for home games while he lived in Miami.  (Mustachian)
...but he had his entourage following in SUVs as security and to carry his gear and suits etc (Anti-mustachian).

I think the net overall effect was positive towards the mustachian side though, because the public exposure of biking riding (news crews would love showing him riding his bike to the game, didn't really show the trailing security suvs) I would hope  would have a positive effect on the kids watching on TV the virtues of bike riding.
