LeBron James caused an Twitter storm when he showed up at the Lakers-Heat game with a man purse yesterday.
But LBJ isn't the only athlete to rock a purse from time to time.
In an age when star players employ a small army of stylists, the social stigma surrounding the "carry-all" has faded.
There's an irony to it — the world's biggest, strongest, most masculine athletes sporting an accessory defined by its femininity.
Overall, we fully support this trend, mainly because it gives us hilarious pictures like LeBron's.
But some athletes (looking at you, Cristiano Ronaldo) have taken it a bit too far.
Exhibit A: LeBron carrying a four-inch long purse before yesterday's Heat-Lakers game. Is it acceptable?
ACCEPTABLE: NBA players are constantly traveling, so they have to carry their things somehow, right? Plus you aren't going to ruin a $5,000 outfit by lugging around a dirty backpack
