LeBron James continues to enjoy the sunny weather in Italy alongside his family. Recently photographed aboard a luxury yacht in Positano, he was seen in the yacht’s dining hall and strolling along its deck as it sailed along the Amalfi Coast.
Positano, known for attracting celebrities like Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Jordan, and Lakers team president Magic Johnson, provided a picturesque backdrop for the NBA superstar’s leisurely outing. On Wednesday afternoon, the 33-year-old James opted for a casual attire, sporting a white tank top, blue shorts, shades, and a colorful fitted hat
During his yacht excursion, James was captured gesturing towards the camera, enjoying the relaxed atmosphere with his loved ones. Following the announcement of his landmark $154 million contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, James jetted off to Italy with his wife and three 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren on Monday, immediately after finalizing the deal with Lakers president Magic Johnson.
Expressing gratitude to his hometown of Northeast Ohio via Instagram, James referred to it as his eternal home amidst the excitement surrounding his iconic move. A native of Akron, Ohio, James was originally drafted as the No. 1 pick by the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2003. After stints with the Miami Heat from 2010 to 2014, he returned to the Cavaliers, declining a reported $35.6 million contract option for the 2018-2019 season in favor of joining the Lakers.
While James and his family unwind in Italy, Lakers fans are reveling in the news. Social media has been flooded with congratulatory messages, and the official NBA store swiftly sold out of James’ yellow and gold Nike No. 23 jersey within minutes of the deal’s announcement. The store assured fans via Twitter that the jersey would soon be restocked, advising those interested in Cavaliers memorabilia to take advantage of discounted prices.
Additionally, Cleveland fans were urged to capture one last glimpse of James’ 25,000-square-foot banner adorning a building wall, as Nike planned to remove it from Sherwin-Williams’ Cleveland headquarters this week.
