James teases visit to L.A. pizza chain, relaxes in pool instead
It all started with a tweet.
LeBron James hinted that he might be visiting Blaze Pizza in Culver City, Calif., on Tuesday. The 33-year-old is an investor in the restaurant chain, which was set to celebrate James' arrival to the Los Angeles Lakers with free pizzas.
