The Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James has been in the league for a long time now. NBA fans have been watching the player for many years. Hence, if the player does something slightly unusual, fans are quick to notice it.
The star has a few pre-game rituals that have been constant over the years. Similarly, the athlete always wears arm-sleeves during the games. In the game against the Washington Wizards, for the first time in a long time, James did not wear the arm sleeves.
NBA on ESPN took note of that and posted a picture of James during the game against the Wizards on Instagram. In the pictures of James without the arm sleeves, they captioned it by saying:
Can’t remember the last time Bron didn’t wear sleeves.
