After starting the game shooting 4 for 11 on Wednesday, LeBron James had enough of the ridiculous (and, might I add, ugly) sleeved uniforms the NBA forces players to wear, so he took matters into his own hands — literally. While running back down the court, James ripped apart the terrible sleeves.

He was probably just frustrated by getting down early to the Knicks, but it feels like a larger statement. At any rate, it isn’t his first time knocking the uniforms.
During the 2013-14 season, James commented on them after an exceptionally poor 19-point performance against the Spurs:
“I’m not making excuses, but I’m not a big fan of the jerseys. Every time I shoot it feels like it’s just pulling right up underneath my arm. I already don’t have much room for error on my jump shot. It’s definitely not a good thing.”
Well, those things are definitely not up underneath his arm anymore. Down with the sleeves! Hooray for The Incredible LeHulk James!
