This Nipsey Hussle Los Angeles Lakers Jersey LeBron is Wearing Needs to Happen ASAP
Back in July, ex-NBA star Caron Butler tweeted out a photoshopped photo of LeBron James rocking an LA Lakers jersey dedicated to rapper Nipsey Hussle. (The photo was created by Bleacher Report's Grant Goldberg.)
The jersey was blue and mirrors the old Lakers throwbacks. The big difference is Crenshaw is written on the front.
At the time, a bunch of people on Twitter sent out tweets in support of the jersey, including Dwyane Wade.

Now it looks like the jersey might actually be happening.
