The legacy of certain sports personalities stands the test of time as their influence transcends their own game. LeBron James is one such name in the modern era whose presence has brought a major shift in this century. A similar moment happened recently as a $1.3B company reignited its presence in baseball.

The 38-year-old became a part of the game’s multi-million-dollar empire. The company captured the love of the Los Angeles Lakers star for the MLB with a historic move after 14 years.

How did LeBron James end up on a card?

Less than a week ago, LeBron visited a Los Angeles Dodgers game in the Dodger Stadium. There he witnessed the greatness of their talisman, Mookie Betts. The 2018 MVP hit two home runs against the Miami Marlins and after the second one, the NBA superstar joined the crowd to cheer for him.

The icons went on to exchange a moment between themselves that captured the hearts of the fans. The four-time NBA champion displayed the gesture of crowning Betts before tipping his cap to show his respect. In return, the 30-year-old saluted the basketball great. This interaction produced one of the most memorable moments in recent sports history.
