[h1]Lauren Perdue turned down LeBron James’ dinner invite because of a ‘curfew’[/h1]

Lauren Perdue is one of the United States' top swimmers, and on Wednesday she swam the first leg of the 4x200 women's freestyle relay. That's nice and all, and she'll likely take home some hardware, but her primary notoriety is coming from a couple of tweets she sent out last week.
Just before the Games began, she tweeted, "Lebron James just invited me to dinner...Um wuuuutttt?!?" Around that time, the photo at right showed up on Perdue's Instagram account. That is most definitely LeBron, trendy dork glasses and all.

On Wednesday, just after her relay, she gave the full scoop to the Charlotte Observer. Before the Games began, the "Dream Team" hung with the swimmers in a kind of Avengers-meets-Justice-League American hero summit. In the course of that, LeBron did indeed invite Perdue to dinner.
"He was kind of joking," Perdue said. "But he was basically like, 'Would you like to come eat with me at the dining hall?' And I said, 'Um, I'm sorry, I have a curfew.'"
Hey, to be fair, LeBron never went to college, so perhaps to him the "dining hall" is this mystical, exotic locale not a vast, noisy world of free cereal where your head rings from last night's overindulgence.

Look, you can attribute all kinds of motives to this if you want. Still, LeBron is after all engaged, and the Olympic Village is a rather public place. But at least LeBron kept his shirt on, unlike other Dream Teamers we could name. ('Sup, Kobe.)
my son Bron tryna get it in
. When the Lakers came to town last season they went to a club I happened to be at. I was standing by the back door entrance when a few Laker players walked in, led by Matt Barnes/Derick Fisher/Steve Blake (no security whatsoever). But when the mamba fell thru the guy in the pic with Lebron looked like he was bout to knock n_'s out for looking a Kobe wrong. Anyway's, he was standing near me and I asked if he was his personal security and he said yeah. We chopped it up for a bit then he went back to earning his $$. After that I started noticing him at Laker games sitting behind then bench. Dude is like 5'7-5'8 so he MUST whoop *** if he go that job
