LeBron James Brought His Own Snacks to Lakers’ Summer League Opener

The recent billionaire took the economic option instead of spending his cash on concessions.

When it comes to basketball, LeBron James has cemented his legacy as one of the all-time greats. But away from the hardwood, the Lakers star is a businessman, and appears to be one who spends his money wisely.

Even with 18-time All-Star recently becoming the first-ever billionaire active NBA player, James was sitting court side at the Lakers’ summer league opener against the Suns on Friday in Las Vegas with a plastic bag of his own snacks. Take a look.

It is no secret that concessions at sporting events, especially at the professional level, can be excessively high. But as a billionaire and a player who has a variety of investments and ranks as the second-highest paid athlete in the world behind soccer’s Lionel Messi, James decided to go for the economic option.
