LeBron James presented today (Monday) during the media day of the Los Angeles Lakers the LeBron 2 “Maccabi Tel Aviv” Nike shoes. This is a new version of the shoes Eitan played in the exhibition game held by the Cleveland Cavaliers against Maccabi Tel Aviv in 2006.
Last Thursday, LeBron revealed the new line of “Nike LeBron 2” and one of the models that received a retro version is a pair of shoes from the mid-2000s: a white model with a special design with a golden texture and laser engraving that was one of LeBron’s first pairs in Nike.
So how much will it cost you? The official price is 215 dollars and on ebay the prices range from NIS 930 to NIS 1,020, in different sizes.
In the same game, which was part of Maccabi Tel Aviv’s preparatory trip to the USA and was held on October 17, 2006, the Yellows lost 93:67 to the Cubs in Ohio. LeBron then settled for 13 points, but came close to a triple double with 8 rebounds and 8 assists. The Yellows were then led by Rodney Beauford with 19 points, Will Bynum scored 13, Simas Isaitis 10 and Yotam Halperin 9. Maybe they will also be purchased the “LeBron Maccabi” model.

King James, already 37 years old and after injuries that have hindered him in recent years, is starting his 20th season in the NBA and about this he said today: “The focus for me is to be fit”.
About the historical record of Kareem Abdul Jabr, from which he is 1,325 points away, LeBron said: “I think about it when someone talks about on social networks and it appears in my feed, and every time I am surprised again. There are those who calculate averages and say that if I play like this And so and so and so and so, so it will happen. I just want to be in the best shape possible and be there for my team, but to be able to break the most prestigious record in the NBA – one that people said would never be broken – is really cool.
“Obviously Kareem has something to say about some of my views and things I do, but ultimately to be mentioned in the same breath as a man who wore that jersey, anchored the Lakers along with Magic and Worthy for so many years and did so much A lot off the court – I think it’s great. In moments like this I really think about the little boy from Akron who walked the streets with the ball or imagined he was playing basketball even when he didn’t have a ball. When I get close to the top, I won’t stress myself. I think it will be a historic moment when I get there. As long as my family and friends are there, that will be the most important thing for me.”
