Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James lit up the night with his presence when Lionel Messi marked his debut in MLS. Fans across the globe went gaga over the video clips of both legends hugging it out. However, days after Messi’s iconic debut, James seemed to have ditched the Argentinian legend for another LA franchise. Moreover, King James may have disappointed his fellow NBA star, Giannis Antetokounmpo, in the process.

Ever since James moved to LA, he has found an unshakable place in fans’ hearts. Rightly so, as he brought home the NBA title in 2020 at the Orlando Bubble. Now that the basketball action is currently shelved in the off season, the Lakers fans had a special treat on Saturday night. But, in an entirely different ball game.

LeBron James’ LA surprise

A  few weeks ago, Lionel Messi marked his debut in the MLS with the Inter Miami franchise. Many celebrities swarmed the event and cheered for the world champion from the sidelines, including LeBron James. Moreover, he reached out to Messi after the game and gave him a long hug. While it seemed like King James wouldn’t miss a single Messi game, he recently ditched the superstar’s game for a $4.8 billion-worth baseball franchise.

Giannis Antetokounmpo‘s Nashville SC took on the Inter Miami on Saturday night. Notably, the Milwaukee Bucks star recently joined the Nashville SC’s ownership team. Even though James had the opportunity to support both Messi and his NBA colleague, he decided to attend the LA Dodgers’ bobblehead night. The superstar stormed the stadium along with his two sons, Bronny and Bryce in Dodgers trousers. He also took to his IG handle and shared pictures and videos from the stadium with his bobblehead.

Moreover, it’s a privilege for the 4x NBA Champion to get featured in bobblehead tradition of the MLB.

What is a bobblehead night?

It’s a tradition in the MLB where every franchise conducts a fan event where special bobbleheads are presented every year. Just like other franchise, this year, the Dodgers featured LeBron James bobblehead on the Saturday night event.

Notably, James isn’t the only Lakers connection for the LA baseball team. 5x NBA Champion Magic Johnson holds a part ownership in the franchise since 2012.
