Lakers Fan Sues LeBron James Over "Deceptive" Retirement Tease
10 Oct
Summary
- Lakers fan sues LeBron James over "The Second Decision" teaser video
- Thought video implied LeBron's retirement, bought tickets for his final game
- Seeking $865.66 reimbursement after finding out video was just an ad
According to a report from TMZ Sports, a lifelong Los Angeles Lakers fan named Andrew Garcia is suing NBA superstar LeBron James over the recent "The Second Decision" teaser video. Garcia claims he was deceived by the video, which he believed implied that James was going to announce his retirement.
As a result, Garcia purchased two tickets worth $432.83 each on Ticketmaster for the Lakers' final home game of the 2025-26 season, when they were set to host the Cleveland Cavaliers on March 31. The 29-year-old fan thought he would be attending LeBron's last game against the team that drafted him.
However, Garcia was left disappointed when he discovered that "The Second Decision" was merely an advertisement for Hennessy, rather than an announcement of James' retirement. Now, he is seeking $865.66 in reimbursement for his rash ticket purchase.
Despite LeBron's exorbitant wealth - he became the first active NBA player to reach billionaire status in 2022 - the Lakers star is known to be quite frugal, according to his former teammate Dwyane Wade. As such, it remains to be seen whether James will put up a fight in court or simply reimburse Garcia for the tickets.
