A lot of people were wondering how strange it is going to look to see LeBron James wearing Lakers colors, and we got our first non-computer generated glimpse of that on Sunday afternoon.
LeBron attended a Las Vegas Summer League game, and he got a standing ovation from fans when he entered the arena rocking some purple and gold Lakers shorts.

The game happened to involve the Cleveland Cavaliers, and LeBron spent some time chatting with his former head coach, Tyronn Lue.

If you’re interested in buying a pair of the shorts LeBron was wearing, you’ll have to be prepared to cough up $500 and possibly wait a while.

We already know there are some people in Los Angeles who disapprove of LeBron being the new big face in town, and some of those angry fans had an immature way of expressing themselves. Sunday’s reception proves that there are plenty of people who are thrilled LeBron has joined Laker Nation.
