Overview

• Andrew Garcia, 29, filed in Los Angeles County small claims court seeking $865.66 after buying two tickets he believed would be LeBron James’ final game vs. the Cavaliers on March 31, 2026.
• The claim cites “fraud, deception, misrepresentation, and any and all basis of legal recovery,” asserting the teaser prompted his purchase within minutes.
• James’ much-hyped “The Second Decision” reveal was not a retirement announcement but a Hennessy VSOP collaboration promoted in a parody of his 2010 special.
• Resale data showed immediate spikes after the teaser, with StubHub reporting average prices jumping from roughly $250 to $500 and sales surging, especially for late-season Lakers games.
• The case remains under court review with no hearing date reported, and James and his representatives have not publicly commented as legal observers note such claims can be difficult to prove from a teaser alone.
