LeBron James looked locked in as he arrived to Crypto.com Arena ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers' game against the Golden State Warriors Thursday night, but his pregame fit stole the show. The 40-year-old star rocked overalls with his hometown "Akron" studded across the stomach, on top of a black hoodie and big sunglasses.

The Lakers are two games ahead of the Warriors for the Western Conference's No. 3 seed in the upcoming NBA playoffs. The Denver Nuggets are tied with the Lakers for the three-seed as well, leaving the Lakers-Warriors game Thursday with playoff-position implications.

James's overalls sparked conversation across social media when the NBA posted a video of his pregame arrival followed by clips of his warmup routine:
