When we speak of "player empowerment" — and not the way we've been conditioned to — @KingJames didn't singlehandedly redirect that convo.

The NBA world took to Twitter to react to this season-opening outfit for The King. The Lakers are coming off a wildly-disappointing season in 2021-22, but LeBron will look to get his team back on track — starting with tonight's matchup against the defending NBA champs. "Business," the Lakers' twitter account wrote.

It's season No. 20 for LeBron James, and it appears he's starting it with an homage to a fit he wore on draft.

So James harkened back his pregame fit from his own start in the NBA. James and Anthony Davis battled injuries, Russell Westbrook proved to be a terrible fit and the team was bad enough that former head coach Frank Vogel was fired. 19 didn't go so hot for the Lakers.

The other team is looking to go up 2-0 -- and in the case of the Philadelphia Phillies, looking to head home for Game 3 in a dominant position. Sturm scored his second goal of the season at 12:50 of the first period, sweeping in a backhand from the side of the net. For Houston, all slugger Yordan Alvarez did was hit a walk-off homer in the ALDS opener and a tiebreaking homer in a Game 2 win. A night flight to Houston, with an early Wednesday morning arrival, to face the top-seeded Astros in Game 1 of the ALCS Wednesday. I love the Brogdon add but "Galo" is out for the year and big man Robert Williams is hurt to start the season so it is debatable that they are better than they were a year ago right now. Success in the NBA requires having quality wings and Boston is as deep as any team in the league in that regard. It's insane to think about how long LeBron James has been in the league, and as of right now, he is the only member of the 2003 NBA Draft class that is on a roster. The hard part is that you get compared to what you did when you won it as much as what you are doing currently. The team has been encouraged with Davis’ offseason progression and believe he’ll be in optimum shape to avoid serious injuries and carry a heavier load. They had a new coach to start the year and it took a while for them to figure things out. There's no doubt that the forward's longevity has been insane, and he has a legitimate chance to break Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's scoring record this season.

Taking those into account, 4×3 would equal to 12, the answer on the right hand side. LeBron James however, chimed in by claiming the answer was 12. Instead, he’s taken to Twitter this morning to rectify an old teammate of his on a silly blunder.

Jason Momoa stars as Father Time in a new Nike ad commemorating LeBron James' 20th anniversary in the NBA.

The “Game of Thrones” alum added of his current DC franchise, “These superhero movies dominate our market, which I have my own thoughts on because I love cinema, but we try to put out a positive message and go on an adventure. The film is slated for a March 17, 2023, release. Things are changing, and even the villain roles I’m playing now are eccentric.” “I’ve been a part of a lot of things that really sucked, and movies where it’s out of your hands,” Momoa said earlier this year. The battle begins 10.22.2022.” Momoa is almost unrecognizable with a long gray beard and aging makeup as he challenges James to a series of fitness tests, plus a karaoke sing-off.

As time rolls on, we will see players around the league give their tributes to the late great Bill Russell, LeBron is already doing it every day.

LeBron James explains why Lakers can't make three-pointers (Los Angeles Times)

LeBron James says it was no surprise that the Lakers made only 25% of their three-point shots in a season-opening loss to the Golden State Warriors.

Then the reality of an aging roster, and injuries to LeBron James and Anthony Davis, set in. “We just got to continue to shoot, shoot, shoot. The Lakers did make four of nine in the fourth, but the game was out of reach by then. I put the work in here, so I live with those results. “And I don’t see myself missing the open looks I had tonight. Get them up in shoot-arounds, individual workouts. Get them up in practice. I mean, I had four or five damn good looks from the three-point line. You continue to defend, you continue to push the ball, you continue to share the ball, you continue to play for one another.” But we’re not sitting here with a bunch of 40-plus [percent] career three-point shooting guys.” “It’s not like we’re sitting here with a lot of lasers on our team. “I mean, to be completely honest, we’re not a team that’s constructed of great shooting.

While the Brady analogy may be a bit far-fetched, James and his cast of struggling shooters will look to find an alternative path to success. But with James' honesty came a sense of optimism that other areas of the game can make up for — and correct — the team's shortcomings. So, with an egregious lack of shooting and major question marks on the defensive end, should we be writing the Lakers off after one game? You continue to trust the shot. You don't have to be much of a numbers guy to agree with James' take. "It's not like we're sitting here with a lot of lasers on our team, but that doesn't deter us from still trying to get great shots," James continued.

Next up is a clash with the rival Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday. One game doesn't make or break a season, but James isn't wrong when discussing the lack of pure shooters on the roster. For now, new head coach Darvin Ham wants to see the team work on its collective mindset when things don't go right. The 6'3" guard was making his return after missing the 2021-22 campaign with a knee injury. Instead, they relied on smaller changes around the core trio of James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook.

Keep in mind that the NBA has 82 games each team has to play in the regular season alone. It should be interesting to see how LeBron James' teammates respond against Los Angeles Clippers next Thursday. Others slammed James' lack of leadership skills but most of them simply couldn't believe he would go after his teammates right after a defeat like that. Instead of trying to encourage his teammates for the next game against the Clippers, James decided to criticize their shooting. Facing the best-shooting team in the league was already a challenge but the Lakers never displayed long-range skills in this game. He wantd to spoil the reigning champions' ring presentation but his 31 points, 14 rebounds and 8 assists couldn't prevent it.
