LeBron James had a $100,000 diamond-encrusted, gold “LeBron 15” made to celebrate reaching 30,000 points

LeBron James likes to be 1 of 1, his “Chosen One” tattoo says it all, so when he hit 30,000 points a very fancy commemorative shoe was made. 

LeBron James, the machine, the unbreakable enigma, we are witnessing him enter his 20th year and the signs of wear and tear are minimal. The Rolls Royce of basketball players we think.

He has broken so many records and built a legacy around himself that firmly puts him in the conversation among the greatest players to have played the game.

Among the many records, he is chasing is that of accumulating the highest points total in the NBA. He is just a few thousand off and we reckon he can break it this season.

But before that came the 30,000 points mark and becoming only the 7th to break the mark. He wanted to wear something special for that occasion. Enter the Shoe Surgeon, a renowned craftsman whose job was to make a shoe out of gold.
