Lebron James playing violin

May 19, 2016 at 05:54 AM · Since the NBA playoffs are in full swing, I thought I would share this picture of Lebron James playing violin. Apparently, this has been his Google+ profile picture since 2011, but I just stumbled upon it today.

May 19, 2016 at 05:52 PM · Also, he plays a five-string with rather unorthodox technique, as his very long arms would entail holding the violin straight over the line of his left shoulder or further, but he hold it in a very cramped position. :D

Would be so inspirational if he could actually play though... :)

May 20, 2016 at 12:59 AM · there's another example that players can have long necks and still go restless

May 20, 2016 at 01:28 AM · I wonder what's more expensive ... the Strad or the wristwatch.

May 20, 2016 at 01:33 AM · He should play a 53cm/21in. viola.

May 20, 2016 at 01:52 PM · Dexter: That's not a long neck by any means! Having about 7.5 cm of neck is average. :)
