LeBron James and his $500 Lakers shorts were the focus of the Summer League on Sunday

-

LeBron James made his Lakers debut wore Lakers shorts on Sunday night when he attended the team’s Summer League game against the Pistons.

LeBron walked in wearing shorts with a curiously placed “Lakers” logo.

And naturally, because this is 2018 and a celebrity wore something they went out of stock almost immediately — despite costing $500.

While LeBron didn’t play, because it’s Summer League and LeBron doesn’t play in Summer League — he did use the opportunity to meet one of his new teammates!

Though things got just a touch awkward when the Cavaliers turned up. They were scheduled to play immediately after the Lakers, meaning LeBron was bound to run into some of his former coworkers.

Of course there was mutual respect with Ty Lue.

But when it came time for the rest of the Cavaliers to come out and warm up, LeBron bounced.

But a Twitter user named Eric Fawcett noticed something peculiar about NBA 2K ’s covers over the last few years, especially in the wake of early reports Kyrie Irving wanted the Cavaliers to trade him . Almost every currently active player that’s been featured on the NBA 2K cover since 2013 has left their team at some point in the future. And the curse has continued in 2018.
