Getty Images We all know that professional athletes use aliases at hotels to prevent crazed fans and members of the media from finding out where they are staying.
For Miami Heat star Lebron James, he decided to use an old stand-by from the movie “Wall Street” as we learn from NBC Washington “Bullets Forever” writer Sarah Schorno Kogod’s Twitter feed:
I learned last night that LeBron apparently uses Gordon Gekko as his hotel alias.
Honestly, it’s not too surprising that Lebron used that as his alias but I always thought he was more of a Bud Fox kind of guy.

You would think a superstar like LeBron would come up with something more clever? Something more ordinary and bland. If I saw somebody named Gordon Gekko in a hotel directory, I would be pretty suspicious. Sadly, it is still better than Ron Mexico.

Maybe he can try Paul Krugman. Or, perhaps Lin can school him a bit (economics major at Harvard).

You telling me he doesn’t have one of his lackeys do that trivial stuff? And yeah, that particular fake name wouldn’t draw any attention.

He used to check in as Lookatme McDoucheburger, but people quickly caught on.
