Lebron James....Neckbeard Historian?

Is it possible that Lebron's use of the neckbeard is just an ode to history? Abraham Lincoln famously rocked the neckbeard, as did Henry David Thoreau. Countless men fighting during the civil war used the neckbeard as a sort of morale boost. Maybe I haven't given bron enough credit.

The aformentioned Thoreau.   Could Bron just be a fan of Walden.  The reflection of simple living and natural surroundings?  Maybe he misinterpreted Civil Disobedience, saying that he respected a fan's passion for running on the court, perhaps in his desire to make a statement of his opposition to an unjust state?  


Is it possible?  Is a mild tempered philosopher trapped in the body of a freak? Like Caine wandering the globe in Kung Fu, the legend continues.
