According to Aaron Dodson of ESPN's The Undefeated, LeBron's complete ensemble—including his sunglasses, alligator bag and headphones—ran him $46,964.95. (Editor's note: Dodson later updated the story to bring the total to nearly $87,000 thanks to the rare watch LeBron was wearing.)

As seen in the following photo courtesy of ESPN's Darren Rovell, the most notable part of James' outfit was the fact that he wore shorts with a suit:

Although James' look very well could have come courtesy of the AC/DC or Jack Black School of Rock collection, it is tough to argue with the results it produced.

LeBron went on to rack up 51 points, eight rebounds and eight assists in Game 1. However, the Cavs lost 124-114 in overtime due in part to J.R. Smith's infamous gaffe at the end of regulation.
