(NEXSTAR) – An NBA fan has filed a lawsuit against LeBron James after the Los Angeles Lakers star teased fans with a “second decision” this week. James, on Monday, had shared a social media post referencing an upcoming “decision” — a clear nod to the 2010 ESPN TV special in which he announced he would be leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers to play for the Miami Heat. In an accompanying video, James was seen sitting in a chair on a basketball court, much like he had in the 2010 special. He was also sporting a similar shirt. Fans had speculated that James’ “second decision” might concern his retirement from the NBA after his upcoming 23rd season in the league. As a result, ticket prices for next season’s Lakers games spiked by several hundred dollars, ESPN reported, citing data from Vivid Seats. On Tuesday, however, the “second decision” stunt turned out to be part of an advertising campaign for James’ collaboration with Hennessy. “This fall, I’m going to be taking my talents to Hennessy VSOP,” James said in a video posted to the brand’s social media pages. Now, one of the fans who purchased a pair of expensive tickets before the reveal is suing James for “fraud, deception, misrepresentation, and any and all basis of legal recovery,” the Los Angeles Times reports. Andrew Garcia, a 29-year-old resident of California, told the outlet his lawsuit is seeking $865.66 — the cost of the two tickets he purchased to a March 2026 game at Crypto.com Arena. “I’m the kind of person that buys tickets five hours in advance,” Garcia said, explaining that his decision to purchase tickets was “solely, solely, solely” based on the “second decision” video James had posted. Speaking with TMZ Sports, Garcia added that he “wouldn't have purchased [tickets] if he wasn't going to retire. Plain and simple." James had not publicly posted anything further about his Hennessy collaboration as of Thursday afternoon. James, 40, is the NBA’s oldest player. He confirmed last week at NBA’s media days that he would be playing next year in his record 23rd season in the league. “I’m excited about the opportunity to be able to play the game that I love for another season,” James said. “However the journey lays out this year, I’m super-invested because I don’t know when the end is. I know it’s a lot sooner than later.” Talia Naquin of Nexstar's WJW contributed to this article.
