A jeep that James used to own and his rookie jersey will be auctioned off in Willoughby, Ohio Saturday.
Jeff Piorkowski of The Sun News has the scoop.
"Sports Auction Manager Anne Fusco Krauss said, depending on how high the bidding goes, the Jeep could be a bargain for a fan of the most celebrated basketball player in the world.“It originally cost $33,000,” she said, “and LeBron James added another $33,000 in customized bells and whistles.”Embroidered on seats and headrests is James’ “King James” logo of a lion’s head wearing a crown. The interior of the vehicle is orange and black.“LeBron only put about 1,000 miles on it, and the current owner only put a couple thousand miles on it,” Krauss said. “It only has 3,200 miles on it now.”"
The jeep is orange and black and has a lion head logo inside of it, so if that’s your type of thing and you like to spend a lot of money, head over to Willoughby by 5:00 pm EST Saturday.
