LeBron James' Navy Cleveland Cavaliers Home Opener Jersey Is Up for Auction

The city of Cleveland devolved into madness for LeBron Jamesโ€™ homecoming in October.

Fans held seances in the streets. Chalk-fetti was thrown, dragons imagined.

One man billed the game as โ€œone of the biggest sporting events...everโ€โ€”and now, for the right price, you can own a piece of Jamesโ€™ historic loss to the New York Knicks in the form of his game-worn navy blue jersey.ย 

ESPNโ€™s Darren Rovell reports that the NBA is auctioning off the jersey James wore on the floor for his first regular-season contest after returning to Cleveland.ย 

NBA Auctions lists the article as a โ€œ2XL+2 inchesโ€ game-worn jersey donned by James in the second half of the season opener.

Printed on the front hem under the jock tag are the words,ย โ€œAll for one. One for all.โ€

The jersey also features a custom microphone pouch used for Jamesโ€™ โ€œmicโ€™d upโ€ audio.

โ€œLeBron James was โ€˜micโ€™d upโ€™ during the game,โ€ according to the NBA Auctionโ€™s description. โ€œHis jersey has a black pouch on the inside where the microphone resides. There is also โ€˜sticky tapeโ€™ residue on the inside of the jersey to help secure the microphone.โ€

You want LeBresidue? Youโ€™ll get LeBresidueโ€”but it will cost you.ย 

As of Tuesday morning, the jersey is listed at a relatively affordable $7,960 after 20 bids. Unfortunately, that dollar amount will likely inflate to around the U.S. gross domestic product by the time the auction ends on November 20 at 9:05 p.m. ET.

Then again, itโ€™s a pretty sleek and special uniform, so it could be worth a deliberate and well-written letter to Santa. Heโ€™ll find a way.
