LeBron James' BBZ ensemble represents his three kids - Bronny, Bryce and Zhuri

LeBron James' pre-game outfits have always been a topic of discussion, ranging from a bare-chested Miami-style ensemble to countless social message t-shirts and caps at the NBA bubble. This week, the Los Angeles Lakers shared a photo of James arriving for their game against the Houston Rockets wearing a sweatshirt, shorts and crocs. The crocs were bright and multicoloured, while the sweatshirt featured animated Disney-themed characters.

"BBZ," read the Lakers' status alongside the picture of LeBron James. While the letters are not visible on the sweatshirt, they represent his three children – Bronny James, Bryce James and Zhuri James. Quite different to what James' usually opts for, the quirky and bright outfit has been worn by the Lakers icon before. In 2016, LeBron James wore LeBron Soldier 10s during Game 5 of the Cleveland Cavaliers vs Golden State Warriors NBA Finals. The Cavaliers were down 3-1 before James wore the BBZ-inspired outfit and dropped 41 points. The Cavaliers went on the win the series 3-4, bagging their first-ever NBA championship. Now, every one of James' new sneaker line has a special BBZ message.

Last night was such a surreal feeling for me! Watching my son play in our home state vs my Alma mater St. VM who’s still being coached by my mentor, father figure, guy who coached and helped guide me throughout my childhood both on and off the floor Coach Dru Joyce II. In front of family(wife, daughter, mom, sister in law, father in law, cousins, etc) friends that included my best friends who I grew up with and still to this day have an unbelievable relationship with and we dub ourselves the “Fab Five”. For @Bronny to play the best game of his young high school career so far, make the biggest play of the game and to walk away winning the MVP in his/our home state and his family and friends was a story book moment. So so so eerie but I know it was SPECIAL and meant the world to me to be there in attendance! Can’t even lie I was nervous as hell for him but damn he was poised and controlled. WHAT AN UNBELIEVABLE NIGHT it was! Thank you man above and 🏀!! #JamesGang👑 #WeareallkidsfromAKRON🙏🏾
