LeBron James teased a Los Angeles pizza party appearance, but didn’t show up

-

LeBron James had a pizza party with all of Los Angeles! And he teased that he would be there. The only problem is that he didn’t show up.

Up until Monday afternoon, LeBron hadn’t personally mentioned Los Angeles on social media. Klutch Sports, his agency, made the announcement that he was signing with the Lakers on his behalf, and LeBron’s social media only referenced him saying goodbye to Cleveland via his Instagram story. Ever since news broke that he would join the Lakers, fans have been waiting to see what he would say on Twitter or Instagram.

This tweet doesn’t even mention the Lakers directly, but he had a better surprise for basketball fans in Los Angeles. Every Blaze Pizza in the area would be handing out free pizza to celebrate him joining the Lakers. He hadn’t signed his contract but this became his unofficial contract signing. His official contract signing came a few hours later.

Fans lined up at the Culver City location, hoping that The King would make an appearance. He’s a large stakeholder of the franchise and he’s even worked a shift at a Blaze Pizza, casually moving boxes and talking to customers while pretending he wasn’t the NBA superstar passersby claimed he was.

But that didn’t happen this time around. Fans made a line long before 2 p.m. and waited after the free pizza offer was over but still, no LeBron. He didn’t show up

We did find out what LeBron was doing instead of driving to Culver City. He was hanging out in an inflatable donut in a pool.

This is honestly the most LA thing LeBron could do: tease that he’s going to be at a certain place, not show up, and then get caught on social media just hanging out. The only way it could have been more Angeleno would be if he complained about the 405 freeway or brought up a recent Sig Alert, both of which could be brought up in LeBron’s tenure as a Laker in the future.

'NBA 2K' has a cover curse, and it's about players leaving

Sports have a history of curses: the Curse of the Billy Goat , the Curse of Lil B , the Curse of Colonel Sanders ( no, really ). The most notable curse for sports video game fans is the Madden curse, where an NFL player becomes a cover star for a Madden NFL installment, and then they get injured during the season. Tom Brady , who will be on the cover of Madden NFL 18 , did his best to debunk the notion of curses by breaking mirrors and walking under a ladder. For a while, we all thought the Madden curse was the only sports video game-related curse. 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.

After all, it was Stephenson who blew in James’s ear during the 2014 playoffs, and it was Stephenson who got James T’d up in the first round of this year’s playoffs, too. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope...
