McLeod said, “LeBron in a suit is always gonna be the best LeBron.” She went on, “The tribute to Takeoff, that’s always an amazing thing.” The tribute to Takeoff or Kirsnick Khari Ballor was when the Los Angeles Lakers legend wore a sharp black suit, pairing it up with shades and a medallion of Jesus over his tie. The late rapper had worn a similar suit to commemorate Quality Control label CEO Pierre “Pee” Thomas’ birthday. She also talked about the responsibility she bore when she assisted LeBron’s old stylist. “To match the tie to the pocket square.”
