This particular match was of high significance to not only LeBron but also to his team. Following a 4-0 whitewash in the Western Conference finals last season, the LA side was out looking for revenge. James’ gesture before the start of the game made it more prominent as the NBA returned after a dramatic off-season.

Thus, ahead of a memorable occasion, his choice of clothes became a notable part of his night. This was not the first time that his Game 1 outfit became the talk of the town. In fact, this outfit adds to the extensive list of expensive clothing he has worn over the years.
