|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Lebron Powder ritual?? Alex Menendez, Photographer Orlando | FL | USA | Posted: 8:46 AM on 05.18.09 ->> Does anyone know it Lebron James typically does his "throw the powder in the air" ritual before games when he is on the road or just in Cleveland?? Obviously the Cavs will now be coming to Orlando and I want to prepare well in advance for this powder throw before the game if he does do it. Not quite sure where to shoot it from if everyone else is in his face before the game. Thanks Alex  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

The best angle I've seen was from the rafters looking straight down. Can't remember who did it, but it was a nice view.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Thomas Oliver which was a little looser. Maybe some others as well.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions Kevin P.

I shot Lebron in OKC last year for the NBA and got his ritual from the catwalk pregame on strobes. It was one of my favorite shots from last year. The Getty watermark on this link goes right through his face but you get the idea. Hope you are doing well my friend!
