The suit worn by Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James before Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors on Thursday cost him a surprisingly large sum of money.
LeBron’s entire outfit, including his sunglasses, alligator bag, and headphones, cost $46,964.95, according to Aaron Dodson of ESPN’s The Undefeated. (Editor’s note: Dodson later updated the story to include the rare watch LeBron was wearing, bringing the total to nearly $87,000.)
The most notable aspect of James’ outfit, as seen in the following photo courtesy of ESPN’s Darren Rovell, was that he wore shorts with a suit:
Although James’ look could have come from the AC/DC or Jack Black School of Rock collections, it is difficult to argue with the results.
In Game 1, LeBron tallied 51 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists. However, the Cavs lost in overtime 124-114, thanks in part to J.R. Smith’s infamous gaffe at the end of regulation.
