The NBA is not only known for the actions on the court on a daily basis, but also for their athletes' fashion sense. Whether it's Russell Westbrook or James Harden, basketball and fashion fans have their eyes peeled on their pregame and post-game outfits.

Off-White, a fashion label based out of Milan, Italy, posts photos of famous celebrities wearing their products on their verified Instagram account. On Monday, the brand posted a photo of an NBA player wearing their version of Nike Air Force's, tagging the official account of Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James.

The thing is, the photo wasn't of James. Rather, it was "Swaggy P" Nick Young.

"@kingjames wearing Off-White c/o @nike air force 1 low mca university blue," the caption read.

You don't have to be a die-hard sports fan to know who LeBron James is. He transcends sports and pop culture. Yet, Off-White inexcusably got confused between James and Young.

James couldn't believe the blunder Off-White's social media team committed, suggesting the company must be in Los Angeles enjoying some "Mary-Jane."

Even "Swaggy P" himself jumped into the comment section, where he jokingly dubbed himself as "The King."

If Off-White didn't know who LeBron James was before, they certainly do now, albeit in embarrassing fashion.
