Andrew Garcia, a 29-year-old, lifelong Lakers fan, filed the lawsuit in a small claims court in Los Angeles County on Wednesday … claiming James owes him $865.66 after he says the hooper seemingly intimated he was about to announce his retirement.

Garcia tells TMZ Sports … when James on Monday teased he had a big choice to make — he figured The King meant he was hanging up his sneakers, so he raced to Ticketmaster to score some seats to what would be LBJ's last-ever matchup with his former team, the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Garcia purchased two tix for the March 31, 2026 date for $432.83 apiece … but he says when LeBron on Tuesday revealed his big decision was merely an ad for Hennessy, the tickets lost almost all of their value.

Garcia wrote in his suit James now owes him because of "fraud, deception, misrepresentation, and any and all basis of legal recovery."

  3. There must be better ways to yell “I’m dumb as a rock” for the entire country to hear.

  11. ehhhh i mean ticketmaster is scummy but bro bought tickets to resell them so he’s also scum

  14. Bron is in his troll era, and it’s fucking hilarious. We all knew what this was, and the media ate it up. Dude should sue Ticketmaster for price gouging, those prices are outrageous.

  15. What an utter loser.

    Dumb enough to have bought the tickets, but to broadcast it nationally like this is a whole other level of dumb.

  17. Are those normal ticket prices or were they inflated cuz of the announcement by the ticket guys? Bro is dumb either way. Lebron would never announce a retirement season this close to opening tip off. He would announce it right after the nba finals and give everyone a chance to raise the prices accordingly

  18. So he thought he’d figured out something to possibly make money but instead of an increase in the value of his ticket, it decreased because he was wrong in his assumption.

  19. Forget this. Somebody needs to be suing Verizon over that mouth chest ad. Most disturbing ad I’ve ever seen.

  25. Lebron should counter sue for every hour he has to waste on this at whatever rate he does appearances.

  26. If you were gonna watch the game it’s worth the same to you.

    It’s only worth less if you were gonna resell it

  29. Oh the irony if this did end up being his final season and this guy sold them on the cheap and lost a bunch of money.

  30. I hope TMZ laughed their ass off at that moron. He really thinks small claims court is going to legitimately hear this case?

  32. Would be great if LeBron gave him the $865.66 he wants and then right after announced his retirement.

  35. Legit everyone in this sub called it out to be the same thing as snoop quitting smoking lol

  36. My guy drops a Hennessy ad, but claims to drink like once a year, solid role model for the youth.

  37. The way he grabs everyone’s attention is hilarious and unbelievable how much he wants to control everything
