LeBron James’ jerseys are going to look a bit different than his Lakers teammates’ for the rest of this season.
Topps — the ultra-popular trading card company — announced on Monday the Los Angeles superstar will have some special edition patches pressed onto his uniform tops for the remainder of the 2026 schedule.
The blue, red and yellow emblems will commemorate the 23 seasons James has played in during his illustrious career.
In addition to Cavaliers, Heat and Lakers colors, the logo will also feature the words “NBA seasons,” the No. 23 and a silhouette of James throwing chalk in the air.
Topps stated fans can first notice the honor on James’ jersey later Monday night, when the Lakers face the Kings in Sacramento — the city where James first kicked off his Hall of Fame career back in 2003.
“The patches will be removed from his jersey after each game,” Topps said in its announcement of the tribute, “and some will be placed into ultra-rare trading cards.”
James, the first player to ever suit up for 23 NBA seasons, was pumped to receive the recognition, as he called it “so dope” on his Instagram page on Monday.
“Need some of these for my own collection!!!” he added.
The No. 1 overall pick in the 2003 draft played 11 seasons in Cleveland, four in Miami and eight-and-counting in Los Angeles during his time in the Association.
He and the Lakers will tip-off their tilt with the Kings at Golden 1 Center at 7 p.m. PT.
