We all know that LeBron James takes Halloween very seriously! Thanks to the latest Netflix docuseries, Starting 5. The show dedicated a separate segment, featuring the superstar’s commitment to the holiday from last year. However, this year, The LA Lakers superstar didn’t seem to have put much effort into his costume but still managed to leave everyone spooked. Especially, James’ trip to Up North to take on the Toronto Raptors has added a spooky layer.

The league dropped a picture of King James pulling up at Scotiabank Arena on their official IG handle. The 39-year-old sported a white jacket over a black shirt and paired it with a black trouser, complementing Smoke Grey Air Jordan. It definitely didn’t sound like a Halloween costume, right? But wait. Along with the casual clothing, James paired it up with a Ghostface A.K.A Scream mask.

It could be the most common Halloween costume in the last few years. Thanks to the Scream movie franchise, making some of our lives easier. Nevertheless, the important question is, how does LeBron James’ minimal effort this Halloween have an overwhelming response from fans? Well, it’s the superstar’s trip to Toronto that has made the fans buzzing in the comments. Before we head into the Toronto context, let’s address how the $900 million net worth brand 2K’s mastermind was also left impressed. Ronnie2k took to the comments and wrote, “LeBoo,”

LeBron James has done something unforgettable for the Raptors’ fans, donning the Cavs uniform. We all know James’ unfortunate playoff run against the Warriors dynasty in the late 2010s. But, not many speak about the Raptors’ misery. Moreover, fans find the Raptors as the superstar’s favorite team, as he has a 44-16 record. A fan perfectly summing up this emotion, wrote, “Yeah he about to bring them flashbacks.” and another fan wrote, “Well LeBronto is not over.”

LeBron James’ Halloween outfit remains fans of the Raptors’ playoff misery

The Canadian side won the 2019 NBA Champions defeating the Warriors in Game 6. However, before reaching the 2019 Finals, the Raptors had to go through three years of hardship. The team had the potential to win the ring, but they had an obstacle on their way. It was LeBron James’ Cavs.

The Cavs eliminated them thrice in the playoffs. Once in the Eastern Conference Finals and twice in the Semi-Final series. Notably, two of them were clean-swept. Keeping that in mind, a fan wrote, “Lebronto was such a cold era, a great time to be a lebron fan.” However, on the other hand, there are naysayers as well. A fan wrote, “Dude was on super teams beating up a weak Raptors team, and they really give him credit for that.” 

Looking back at the Cavs team from that era, apart from LeBron James and a developing Kyrie Irving, the team didn’t have any star power. On the other hand, the Raptors weren’t any weak side. They had players like OG Anunoby, DeMar DeRozan, Kyle Lowry, Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet, and many role players. So, the naysayer must have completely lost track of the era.

And, the tradition seems to have continued. Tonight, the Lakers again closed out with a 131-125 win and LeBron James recorded 27 points with 10 assists. Loyal James fans couldn’t have asked for anything better on Halloween!
