LeBron James is widely known for his unique Halloween looks, with his Prince-inspired costume from 2015 being one of the most memorable. That year, at the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Halloween party, LeBron not only presented a classic purple costume, but also wowed the crowd with a performance of Prince’s hit song “Purple Rain”. This unique performance was personally recognized by Prince, who shared the video, leaving the scene in cultural history.
