LeBron James and DeMar DeRozan Express Their Loyalty to Nike By Covering Up $25 Billion Worth Brand

Posted on by Jack Marks

LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers is accustomed to playing well into the summer since between 2011 to 2020, he made the NBA Finals nine times. LeBron James is in good health, and the illustrious Drew League in Los Angeles witnessed him in action. For the first time since 2011, the Lakers superstar played in the league and put on a display alongside DeMar DeRozan of the Bulls.

This was the first time in over three months that James was seen playing basketball after missing seven of the Lakers’ last eight regular-season contests due to a left ankle sprain. In an outstanding performance, he recorded 42 points, 16 rebounds, four steals, and three assists.

The talented team triumphed 104-102 with DeRozan contributing 30 points and 14 rebounds. James and DeRozan’s domination, though, was sufficient for the Cheaters to win the game. Draymond Green, Kendrick Nunn, and Talen Horton-Tucker were all present to watch.

LeBron James and DeMar DeRozan hide Adidas logo

LeBron is currently one of Nike’s most valued athletes, if not the most lucrative. Adidas is the league’s sponsor. Here, the pieces fit together. LeBron accomplishes this by just hiding the logo. The $31.2 billion brand received little publicity, and instead, Nike is the topic of conversation. It wasn’t just LeBron, either. DeMar DeRozan, a fellow Nike athlete, did the same.

It’s hardly surprising that James has been eager to leave the floor since the middle of July since he’s used to playing a lot more basketball than that. James would participate in the renowned Drew League in Los Angeles on Saturday afternoon for the first time since 2011, it was reported.
