LeBron James’ game-day ‘fit on Sunday came from an unlikely source — an 11-year-old.
The Lakers superstar revealed just prior to Los Angeles’ home matchup against the Grizzlies that his daughter Zhuri had picked out his wardrobe for the evening.
“This is courtesy of Zhuri Nova Ann Marie James,” James said as he walking into Crypto.com Arena.

She asked me the other day, ‘Dad, can I get you dressed for one of your games?’ And I said, ‘Yup. You got it on Sunday.’ She said, ‘Really?’ And I said, ‘Yup. All yours.’
“So, she took care of me. She took care of me.”
