LeBron James is the knight. The Dunk Knight.
The basketball star debuted a fashion-forward safety mask at Thursday night's game against the New York Knicks. While protecting him from future broken noses, the mask is also an excellent accessory if LeBron ever decides to retire from the game to become a vigilante crime fighter. Or possibly a criminal mastermind.

Naturally, LeBron's new look spawned a flood of memes on Twitter. The Miami Heat beat the Knicks 108 to 82, so this mask must possess some sort of magic power.
