With the World Series having officially begun on Tuesday night, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade have finalized the wager they vowed to make as fans of the two teams that are playing for a championship.
Wade, a Cubs supporter who grew up in Chicago, laid out the terms of the bet in a video that was shared on the Uninterrupted Twitter account:
The #WorldSeries bet is on! @DwyaneWade (@Cubs) sends @KingJames (@Indians) the official wager. pic.twitter.com/h71F22FqJA

LeBron gladly accepted the challenge:
I accept @DwyaneWade!! 1-0 #RallyTogether https://t.co/zBF9RBBv8v

James grew up just outside Cleveland and is obviously rooting for the Indians, so he got a head start with Corey Kluber’s dominant performance in a 6-0 Game 1 victory. Since LeBron and the Cavaliers had a game of their own Tuesday night, we didn’t see any celebratory antics at a local bar downtown like last time.
Personally, I’m a big fan of this bet. It doesn’t really matter who wins — I just want to see LeBron or D-Wade dressed up like a ballplayer.
