LeBron James’ publicity stunt costs a lot of fans dearly

LeBron James has displaced everyone how many. His “The Second Decision” in the end, was nothing more than a publicity stunt. No retirement or trade with romantic return to Cleveland. A sigh of relief for everyone, actually not for everyone.

Many fans, thinking the worst, bought tickets for the LA Lakers-Utah game, i.e., the’last of the 2025/26 regular season. They were going to enjoy, live, the’farewell of King James. To get this opportunity, they shelled out big bucks (prices skyrocketed). In fact, they now have in their hands coupons for a game that counts for nothing.

This has not happened, as Marca reports, are to several yellow-viola fans. So many fans, scattered across the United States, hoarded tickets for the most iconic contests awaiting the LA Lakers on the road, believing that it would be the’last time to be able to see LBJ live.

In short, LeBron James’ publicity stunt has cost a great many fans dearly. “We all knew it was a publicity stunt, didn&#8217t we?”” said Los Angeles Lakers coach JJ Redick after the last practice addressing the media. No, not everyone understood that. Judging by how people reacted, not everyone understood that the’announcement had nothing to do with his possible retirement from the scene.
