With each locational move, celebrated or decried, the baggage has become a heavier burden. Glass has covered more and more of LeBron James’s basketball house.

“That comes with the tag of being the best player,” said James Jones, a member of King James’s court in Cleveland and Miami. “It’s fair to say that people take the temperature of his team, his entire situation, multiple times a day.”
