LeBron James’ pregame outfit ahead of Game 3 of the NBA Finals went viral on Sunday afternoon.
James, 35, is known for rocking some pretty eye catching stuff – but this fit definitely took the cake.
James’ shirt and shorts read “More Than My Feelings” in all caps, while his hat had the words “I Can’t Breathe” on it.
Needless to say, fans immediately weighed in.
Definitely has more drip than Jordan.

James’ wardrobe choices not withstanding, the Lakers star is playing extremely good basketball right now. Through two games, he is averaging 29 points and 11 rebounds per outing. In Game 2, specifically, he recorded 33 points on 56 percent shooting, 9 rebounds and 9 assists.
For obvious reasons, he and Anthony Davis are earning comparisons to another great Lakers duo – Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant.
James addressed what those comparisons meant to him earlier this week.

“Being in high school, watching the Kobe-Shaq duo was the most dominant duo that I have personally seen in my life from a basketball perspective,” James said.
“Obviously we knew the force that Shaq brought to the table, but the elegance and force that Kobe played with as well. They were very dominant in what they did on the floor, on both sides of the floor.

“So to be in the conversation with those two guys, myself and AD, is just very humbling, because I grew up watching those guys. I grew up admiring Kobe, obviously, a kid coming straight out of high school. … And the force that Shaq played with. It’s very humbling that we can be even mentioned with those greats.”
The Lakers and Heat will square off for Game 3 on Sunday afternoon. If LA can escape with a win, the title is all but theirs. No team in NBA history has ever come back from being down 0-3 in a best of seven series, and it is difficult to see a scenario where that would change in 2020.
