People Are Divided on LeBron James’s Decision to Wear Shorts With Suit

Twitter isn’t sure what to make of the aggressive suit with shorts look by LeBron James.

LeBron James saved his best—or worst, depending on who you ask—suit for the last series of the 2017-18 NBA campaign. LeBron arrived at the Oracle Arena for Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors on Thursday wearing his traditional away game suit...with shorts.

LeBron’s unique look has left Twitter quite divided about how they felt. Some have already counted out the Cavs based solely on James’s attire.

#UnpopularOpinion @KingJames pulls off the suit with shorts, and that combo should be more mainstream

Others have declared that LeBron is one of the greatest players of all-time who defied the odds this postseason to get to where he is today, so he can do as he damn well pleases with his pre-game look. 

I hate Lebron James for 63 different reasons, making suit shorts acceptable is in no way one of those.

Then there’s the select few that are still confused about how they feel. 

Even NBA commissioner Adam Silver weighed in on LeBron's look. 

James has to win Game 1 now. This is a fire post-game look after a W. Not so much following an L.
