After 15 years in the NBA, LeBron James knows how to make an entrance.
He showed up to Game 1 in a short suit that resembled AC/DC guitarist Angus Young, and the Internet couldn't handle the style.
The look also had the price tag to accompany it.
According to theundefeated.com's Aaron Dodson, the Thom Browne ensemble cost almost $46,000. The suit, tie and handkerchief were a little more than $2,500. The shirt was just over $300, while the shorts came in at under a $1,000. The visible socks and boots cost $1,380. His sunglasses came to $525 and the wireless headphones go for a cool $200.
But the big price difference maker?
It was the chic alligator bag, which sells for $41,000.
Just like dad
In 1984, just months before the New York Yankees made him their second-round draft pick, a young Al Leiter threw back-to-back no-hitters for Central Regional High School in Bayville, N.J.
On Friday night, the left-hander's son, Jack, pitched his first no-hitter. Only difference: Jack throws right-handed.
On the hill for Delbarton, which is ranked 20th in New Jersey, Jack Leiter shut down No. 5 Don Bosco Prep in the semifinals of the North Jersey Non-Public A tournament with a low-90s fastball and a sharp slider. He walked two and struck out six in Delbarton's 2-0 victory.
A Dallas redo?
From Janice Hough of leftcoastsportsbabe.com:
"Years from now, when trivia contests ask 'Who shot JR?' millions of millennials will assume it was a Cleveland Cavaliers fan."
