Desmond Bane was on the hunt for the perfect sneaker to best aid him in his return to the court, and ironically the best pair came from a bittersweet opponent.
LeBron James defends Desmond Bane during the second half of a regular season game in Los Angeles in January 2023.“That’s your last time,” James yelled at Bane. “That’s your last motherf–king time. That’s your last time disrespecting me.”
Since his return, Bane has sported the LeBron XXs, including while facing James himself — breaking an unwritten rule about wearing an opponent’s signature shoe while playing against them. Bane worn a pair that commemorated James’ time with the Heat, and the Lakers star, who was wearing a bright orange-and-blue pair of his NXXT Gen model, approached, glancing at his feet and asking if he needed any other pairs.Since the confrontation last year, two seem cordial even while facing each other in the fight to make playoff run to the championship.
“I felt like it was love, for sure,” Bane said. “We moved on. I think we separated and settled our differences.”“Respect. Respect,” James told ESPN. “I joked about it a few years ago, like, if a guy’s wearing my sneakers I’m going to have to bust your ass and s–t. Like, I’m not even in that type of energy no more, that type of space. I just think that’s super dope. And I got to send some more to him now.
