LEBRON James toasted the start of the NBA season in vintage style – by splashing out over $400,000 on fine wines and luxury gifts for his LA Lakers pals.

And King James also promised everyone a $30,000 Rolex watch if they are crowned NBA champions this season.

The Team USA superstar returned from a golden summer at the Paris Olympics and treated everyone at the Lakers to some tasty team building.

James, known for being a wine connoisseur, snapped up some luxury vino, delicious dishes, and special surprises for his teammates and staff, now led by JJ Redick.

“This kind of dinner makes a group stronger, makes the team united, and he did a fantastic job organizing,” a player of the current roster told The U.S Sun.

“Our team captain, a leader that hosts such a luxurious team and staff dinner, with fantastic food and wines to get us together and unite the group as the season starts.”
