LAS VEGAS — Although he has still yet to be formally introduced by the Lakers, LeBron James made his debut in team gear at the Thomas & Mack Center on Sunday.
James entered the building in purple and gold shorts with “Lakers” script across the front and took a courtside seat on the baseline, where he watched L.A. defeat Detroit 101-78 in the first of four Summer League quarterfinal games. His shorts, which retail for $500, are a Just Don and Mitchell & Ness collaboration and were already listed as sold out on Sunday afternoon. The four-time MVP also wore purple Nikes, a white t-shirt emblazoned with “RWTW” (roll with the winners) and a black hat turned backward.
