Last week, LeBron James surprised one and all after he was spotted wearing a customized jersey of the Columbus Blue Jackets. The NBA icon put on the special edition NHL Stadium Series jersey, something which became a talking point in the hockey world. Interestingly enough, LeBron is actually a partial owner of the Blue Jackets’ rivals, the Pittsburgh Penguins, but despite the fact, he sported Blue Jackets gear. However, days later, the team’s star returned the favor of James with a kind gesture.
The second-year center of the Blue Jackets, Adam Fantilli was in attendance when James was spotted in their jersey. Subsequently, before their game against the Panthers, Fantilli reciprocated the NBA legend’s gesture by wearing his jersey. The Blue Jackets star was pictured walking out into the arena sporting the iconic yellow No. 23 Lakers jersey of LeBron James. The video of Fantilli walking out confidently in James’ jersey went viral on social media and caused a frenzy among the fans.
