A video of LeBron James wearing a Columbus Blue Jackets Stadium Series jersey , posted on X by ESPN and retweeted by the Blue Jackets, racked up thousands of hits Wednesday night. ESPN used an icy-blue-faced emoji and a fire emoji, and the Blue Jackets used a goat emoji, appropriate for the NBA's all-time leading scorer .
James' jersey is the same one the Jackets wore during their 5-3 victory over the Detroit Red Wings at Ohio Stadium on March 1. James is an Akron native and an Ohio State fan.
James, 40, has been dealing with a strained left groin , an injury he sustained in a game against the Boston Celtics on March 8. That's why he was on the sidelines in Los Angeles on Wednesday night as the Lakers defeated the Denver Nuggets 120-108 behind Luka Doncic's 31 points.
