LeBron James showed off this epic throwback to the night of the 2003 NBA Draft ahead of the Lakers' season-opener vs. the Warriors.
It makes for a pretty epic photo, one that will give fans who have followed the Akron, Ohio native for his whole career all of the feels. Here’s what James was rocking, per the Lakers Twitter account and Bleacher Report. Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is entering his 20th year in the NBA but he will never forget his beginnings in the league.
When we speak of "player empowerment" — and not the way we've been conditioned to — @KingJames didn't singlehandedly redirect that convo.
I need to be able to make the most of that.’ LeBron has shown how valuable, how much wealth you can create, how many opportunities you can create for others if you think about that in a very strategic sense.” “The more I started to think about it, the more I started to be like, why not. “It’s now accepted and very popular among athletes to be thinking about questions like how to transition to a new career or what to do next with your active career and think about them very early in your career,” Elberse said.

The Los Angeles superstar rolled up to Golden State's Chase Center rocking an all-white suit — possibly paying homage to the suit he wore for the 2003 NBA Draft ...
The NBA world took to Twitter to react to this season-opening outfit for The King. The Lakers are coming off a wildly-disappointing season in 2021-22, but LeBron will look to get his team back on track — starting with tonight's matchup against the defending NBA champs. "Business," the Lakers' twitter account wrote.
It's season No. 20 for LeBron James, and it appears he's starting it with an homage to a fit he wore on draft.
So James harkened back his pregame fit from his own start in the NBA. James and Anthony Davis battled injuries, Russell Westbrook proved to be a terrible fit and the team was bad enough that former head coach Frank Vogel was fired. 19 didn't go so hot for the Lakers.

in the postseason is the sort of thing that tends to ebb and flow throughout a year. The other team is looking to go up 2-0 -- and in the case of the Philadelphia Phillies, looking to head home for Game 3 in a dominant position. Sturm scored his second goal of the season at 12:50 of the first period, sweeping in a backhand from the side of the net. For Houston, all slugger Yordan Alvarez did was hit a walk-off homer in the ALDS opener and a tiebreaking homer in a Game 2 win. A night flight to Houston, with an early Wednesday morning arrival, to face the top-seeded Astros in Game 1 of the ALCS Wednesday. I love the Brogdon add but "Galo" is out for the year and big man Robert Williams is hurt to start the season so it is debatable that they are better than they were a year ago right now. Success in the NBA requires having quality wings and Boston is as deep as any team in the league in that regard. It's insane to think about how long LeBron James has been in the league, and as of right now, he is the only member of the 2003 NBA Draft class that is on a roster. The hard part is that you get compared to what you did when you won it as much as what you are doing currently. The team has been encouraged with Davis’ offseason progression and believe he’ll be in optimum shape to avoid serious injuries and carry a heavier load. They had a new coach to start the year and it took a while for them to figure things out. There's no doubt that the forward's longevity has been insane, and he has a legitimate chance to break Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's scoring record this season.

James was fantastic despite the loss, leading the team with 31 points and 14 boards. With a host of new faces, it will take a few games for the players to figure each other out, something Lakers fans will be hoping eventuates sooner rather than later. Conjecture remains when it comes to the playing roster, specifically surrounding the role of Russell Westbrook.

LeBron James' outfit was nothing short of immaculate. He pulled up dressed in all-white, looking like an angel, a homage to his 2003 draft.
Tough to tell. Can they find a rhythm? Their on-court game is quite dull. [October 18, 2022] Yet, there are a select few whose classy and timeless sense of style can always shine through. Nobody does “outfits” better than King James and even 20 years down the line, he owns the pre-game walk.
LeBron James says it was no surprise that the Lakers made only 25% of their three-point shots in a season-opening loss to the Golden State Warriors.
Then the reality of an aging roster, and injuries to LeBron James and Anthony Davis, set in. “We just got to continue to shoot, shoot, shoot. The Lakers did make four of nine in the fourth, but the game was out of reach by then. I put the work in here, so I live with those results. “And I don’t see myself missing the open looks I had tonight. Get them up in shoot-arounds, individual workouts. Get them up in practice. I mean, I had four or five damn good looks from the three-point line. You continue to defend, you continue to push the ball, you continue to share the ball, you continue to play for one another.” But we’re not sitting here with a bunch of 40-plus [percent] career three-point shooting guys.” “It’s not like we’re sitting here with a lot of lasers on our team. “I mean, to be completely honest, we’re not a team that’s constructed of great shooting.

While the Brady analogy may be a bit far-fetched, James and his cast of struggling shooters will look to find an alternative path to success. But with James' honesty came a sense of optimism that other areas of the game can make up for — and correct — the team's shortcomings. So, with an egregious lack of shooting and major question marks on the defensive end, should we be writing the Lakers off after one game? You continue to trust the shot. You don't have to be much of a numbers guy to agree with James' take. "It's not like we're sitting here with a lot of lasers on our team, but that doesn't deter us from still trying to get great shots," James continued.
LeBron James lamented the lack of shooters on the Los Angeles Lakers' roster after an openingnight 123-109 loss to the reigning NBA champion Golden State...
Next up is a clash with the rival Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday. One game doesn't make or break a season, but James isn't wrong when discussing the lack of pure shooters on the roster. For now, new head coach Darvin Ham wants to see the team work on its collective mindset when things don't go right. The 6'3" guard was making his return after missing the 2021-22 campaign with a knee injury. Instead, they relied on smaller changes around the core trio of James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook.

Ben Golliver of The Washington Post captured some very candid postgame press conference reflections from the 37-year-old superstar, who had a solid stat-stuffing night during a contest that never got within single digits in the fourth quarter.

LeBron James started the new NBA season with a defeat against the Golden State Warriors last Tuesday. He wantd to spoil the reigning champions' ring ...
Keep in mind that the NBA has 82 games each team has to play in the regular season alone. It should be interesting to see how LeBron James' teammates respond against Los Angeles Clippers next Thursday. Others slammed James' lack of leadership skills but most of them simply couldn't believe he would go after his teammates right after a defeat like that. Instead of trying to encourage his teammates for the next game against the Clippers, James decided to criticize their shooting. Facing the best-shooting team in the league was already a challenge but the Lakers never displayed long-range skills in this game. He wantd to spoil the reigning champions' ring presentation but his 31 points, 14 rebounds and 8 assists couldn't prevent it.
Opening the season against the defending-champion Warriors was never going to be an easy task for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Smooth sailing is not in the cards for either player in season 20 and beyond.
For all of the time he has put into his craft, he wants to get everything that he can out of it. However, Brady needs to get one of those white suits that James wore on Tuesday night and just be cool being one the best to ever score points for money. Now what Brady can learn from James is how to approach the final years of his career when there are struggles on the field. Drives took precision and patience, so the Pats crafted that as skill to the best of their ability. And while the mathematical conversion is not exact, it feels analogous to an NBA team in 2022 scoring 109 points while shooting 25 percent from three. When asked about the Lakers’ shooting problems, he spoke matter-of-factly, about how the 3-pointer is not a team strength.
