LeBron James’ new Hennessy advertisement has resulted in a lawsuit being filed against him.
The NBA’s all-time leading scorer announced that his “second decision” was a new signature bottle, but he teased the announcement the day before, and many thought the “decision” would be a retirement at season’s end.
After the teaser video dropped, Andrew Garcia purchased two tickets for the Los Angeles Lakers’ game against the Cleveland Cavaliers — who drafted James in 2003 — for about $432 each on Ticketmaster, according to TMZ Sports.
“I’m excited about the opportunity to be able to play the game that I love for another season,” James said Sept. 29. “However the journey lays out this year, I’m super invested, because I don’t know when the end is. I know it’s a lot sooner than later.”
James has hardly shown any signs of slowing down. In his age-40 season, he averaged 24.4 points, 8.2 assists and 7.8 rebounds. He posted 10 triple-doubles this past season — his most since 2019-20, when he won his fourth NBA championship.
After turning 40 on Dec. 30, James averaged 25.1 points per game, the most by any player age 40 or older.
James became the first player in NBA history to play in the league at the same time as his son, Bronny James, who was drafted by the Lakers last summer. The two played 21 games together.
