Photo: LeBron Honors Nipsey Hussle With Custom Crenshaw Jersey

LeBron James is having some great fun on his yacht vacation. He enjoys romantic outings with his wife, and we saw all those photos. But, something else caught our attention. In one of the photos, LeBron wears a custom Crenshaw jersey to honor Nipsey Hussle.

The rapper was shot down in front of his Marathon Clothing store in South Los Angeles. LeBron is trying to keep his memory alive, and the new personalized pieces prove that.

Nipsey was no stranger to street life. During a showcasing of Vector 90 last year, Nipsey told the LA Times details about his life.

“I grew up in gang culture. We dealt with death, with murder. It was like living in a war zone, where people die on these blocks and everybody is a little bit immune to it. I guess they call it post-traumatic stress, when you have people that have been at war for such a long time. I think L.A. suffers from that because it’s not normal yet we embrace it like it is after a while.”

LeBron has been sharing posts about his friend.

“2011 Before a Finals game. iPod days/ I ain’t new to the game I’m true to it! Been knew Nip was rare and Been on that same Marathon along with Nip the whole time! Through the ups and downs you must continue the Marathon that you’re on! NO MATTER WHAT! Long.Live.Nip” LeBron wrote on Instagram after Nipsey’s death.

LeBron used every opportunity he gets to reflect on Nipsey’s legacy. He did that after the Celebration of Life memorial service.

“Today we celebrated you bro!! Man It was beautiful! I couldn’t help but to think you would walk out on to that stage with your mic in your hand and rock that crowd that was there for you! I know you’re in a better place now but I can even lie man shit don’t seem right here without you! We was just about to get started out west together in the communities. Both two of our favorite things to do(giving back to our own/youth). Anyways I don’t want to hold u up cause I know there’s better things going on up there, so just know LA showed MAD love inside and out the Staples Center. Until we meet again @nipseyhussle continue to stay 10 toes down.”
