LeBron James Flexes Iconic ‘38388’ Bracelet Alongside Polarising $564,000 Rare Audemars Piguet Watch 1 day after cryptic IG post

LA Lakers’ LeBron James posted a cryptic Instagram post showing off an Audemars Piguet watch. With a net worth of over $1 billion, LeBron can surely afford to splurge on the most expensive of luxuries. James might have had a disappointing season, but still ended up breaking multiple records. This includes the NBA all-time scoring record which he beat by reaching the overall number of 38,388, overtaking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The Instagram story also showed him wearing a bracelet market with the number 38,388, in addition to the luxury Swiss watch. The caption James posted appeared to mock his critics.

James is known to have an expansive collection of watches and regularly flaunts them via his Instagram. However, this is the first time that James has been seeing showing off a bracelet.

At the age of 38, James broke the NBA’s all-time scoring record after overtaking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. In a February 7th game against OKC Thunder, James finished with 38 points to take his overall tally to 38,390 points.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar finished with 38,387 points in 1560 matches. On the other hand, LeBron has now scored 38,652 points despite playing just 1421 NBA games.

As far as the blue Audemars Piguet watch is concerned, it costs more than $564k and was manufactured in 2022. The watch is one of the most expensive luxury watches available in the market, and is one of the many AP watches that James owns.

King James appears to mock critics via a cryptic Instagram post

LeBron James, one of the most scrutinized players in the NBA, has found himself at the center of retirement rumors in recent weeks. The Los Angeles Lakers’ exit from the playoffs after being eliminated by the eventual champions, the Denver Nuggets, in the Conference Finals has only intensified speculation about James’ future in the league.

Amidst the swirling rumors about his basketball career, the 38-year-old basketball icon appears unfazed. James took to social media and shared a cryptic post featuring a blue emoji accompanied by the word “Me.” Notably, in the post, he showcased an AP watch that also happened to be blue.

Deciphering the exact message James intended to convey with his social media story proves challenging. The inclusion of the blue emoji and the word “Me” leaves fans and analysts speculating about its significance. However, one element is clear: James aimed to draw attention to the AP watch he was sporting, which also happened to match the color scheme of the post.

While the precise meaning behind James’ post remains open to interpretation, it becomes evident that the basketball superstar intended to highlight the bracelet on his AP watch as a symbolic gesture. The blue watch serves as a reminder of the record-breaking season he just had, undoubtedly leaving a lasting impact on his legacy.

As fans and pundits continue to debate the true intentions behind LeBron James’ enigmatic social media post, one thing is certain. The future of this iconic basketball figure continues to captivate the imagination of sports enthusiasts worldwide.
