Billionaire LeBron James flaunts his astonishing wealth with a gold Nike swoosh on his tooth

LA Lakers superstar LeBron James was recently spotted with some new bling after a game. While celebrating their win against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday, LeBron could be seen flaunting a new gold Nike swoosh on his teeth.

LeBron James has been known to flex his wealth in the past. As a billionaire who is still an active athlete, James has somewhat earned the right to do the same.

"King James" certainly didn't hesitate to do so while displaying his new bling to the media after the game against the Bulls. ESPN's Dave McMenamin made note of this in an Instagram post as well.

A billion dollar smile featuring the Nike swoosh could also be LeBron's way of repping the sports apparel giant. Considering his relationship with the brand and the success the two entities have enjoyed together, James certainly has every right to flaunt it.

This isn't the first time James has flexed new jewelry on his teeth. In the 2022 offseason, LeBron flaunted his signature logo by getting it implanted in one of his teeth.

The gold Nike swoosh now rests on the opposite side of the "LJ" crown. We look forward to seeing what other accessory ideas the superstar has in store.

LeBron James notches his first win since returning

LeBron James made his surprise return from injury earlier in the week against the Chicago Bulls. Unfortunately, the LA Lakers came up with a loss as James was evidently rusty.

However, the follow-up performance resulted in nothing but success as the Purple and Gold emerged victorious after a 121-110 bout. With crucial performances across the board, James finally notched a win under his belt since returning.

LeBron put in a solid performance on Wednesday. Although Anthony Davis led the charge with a dominant 38 points and 10 rebounds, James followed suit with 25 points, seven rebounds and four assists of his own.

The combined performances by the Lakers' superstars were paired with solid contributions from D'Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves in the starting lineup.

The onslaught of the Lakers' starters was enough to outlast Chicago's attempts to cut through the lead in the third-quarter. The Purple and Gold managed to restore some balance and appeared a lot more consistent in the fourth.

The win also sees the Lakers go back up to .500 on the season and places them in eighth on the Western Conference ladder. With only half a game behind seventh and 1.5 games behind sixth, the Lakers have a golden opportunity to climb their way into the playoffs.
