    I wish Adam Silver would’ve tried on Gradey Dick’s suit.

    The suits that year were so ridiculous, I love pulling up the picture of that draft class every now and then just for a laugh.

  3. Hearing him say his initials are LJ just sounded weird.

    If you asked me to name a nba player with the initials LJ I’d say Larry Johnson then I wouldn’t be able to think of anyone else.

    In his early years, did Cleveland ever refer to him as LJ?

    We lost Stern & got this dork Silver

    Bron was so smart and mature as a kid. Still blows my mind after all these years. If I’m 18 and had one percent of his fame I would be freaking out and anxious all the time

    Looks like a doctor in a lab coat lmao

    Stern seems pretty cool. Always loved how he handled getting boo’d at the draft

    I didn’t know LBJ used the same tailor as R Kelly

    This must’ve been Nathan Fielder’s inspiration

    Bron looks like he just came out a Puffy video

    David stern is either loved or hated…. But you can’t deny he was funny. For those that never heard the Rome interview…wow he could throw a punch.

    There’s a low chance he still has it but I’d love it if LeBron wore this to his last ever game

    Its like putting your dad’s suit on when you were a kid, except the mirror universe version

  14. Fladap28

    I was thinking it looked like a white coat

    In all fairness, it looked about the same on LeBron as it did on Stern.

    Whatever your thoughts on stern are, got to admit the man was personable

    I’m impressed with how comfortable LeBron – basically a high school kid – is joking around with the NBA Commissioner on the biggest night of his life. In hindsight you can see how he handled superstardom so well. Or maybe I’m just reading too much into one conversation. But there’s definitely a natural poise to Bron.

    It looks like a freaking doctor’s coat seriously crazy how big the difference in size is

  19. I remember reading somewhere around the Heat era that LeBron hates looking back on this because in hindsight he thought his suit was hideous 🤣
