And not just any Beats By Dre headphones — gold-plated Beats By Dre headphones.
Richard Jefferson told the world of the gifts via what has become his must-follow Snapchat account:

The inscription James chose for the music-listening devices provides the real motivation, though, as the Cavs look to avoid losing to the Warriors for the seventh straight time and, more importantly, going down 0-2 in the Finals.
Per ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, the inscription reads, "You’ve worked, dreamed and trained for this. Our time is now."
Gold-plated, inscribed, whatever, LeBron can afford such gifts, and easily. He reportedly made $30 million on his investment in Beats when Apple acquired the brand for $3 billion in 2014.
