Lakers Fan Drops Lawsuit Against LeBron James Over 'The Second Decision' Video

Joseph ZuckerOct 20, 2025

"The Second Decision" is no longer the source of pending litigation.

TMZ Sports reported Monday that Andrew Garcia moved to withdraw the suit he filed after paying a premium on tickets to see Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James.

Garcia spent a total of $865.66 to see the Lakers play the Cleveland Cavaliers in March, believing James was teasing his retirement when he first announced "the decision of all decisions" was soon to come. That was actually teeing up a marketing campaign for Hennessy.

Garcia wasn't the only person who sensed an opportunity. Ticket prices for Lakers games rose in anticipation of a possible farewell campaign by King James.

To call "The Second Decision" a flop wouldn't be totally accurate because a lot of fans were talking about it, and it fueled plenty of speculation about what LeBron was set to reveal.

But having the 21-time All-Star reference one of the most pivotal moments in his career and play pretty clearly into the uncertainty over his NBA future — all in service of a Hennessy ad — didn't go down all that well.

Filing a real lawsuit over the commercial was equally silly, if not more so.

Garcia alleged in his complaint that James perpetrated "fraud, deception, misrepresentation," per TMZ Sports. He also told the site the initial tease was what led him to buy the tickets.

"I wouldn't have purchased it if he wasn't going to retire. Plain and simple," he said.

According to TMZ Sports, PrizePicks contacted Garcia and offered him free Lakers tickets along with other merch. That was enough to make him feel whole and no longer be concerned with the suit.
