Though LeBron's "Zero Dark Thirty-23" social media silence has yet to be lifted, his shirt and hat combination on Monday spoke rather loudly.

LeBron was wearing an Ultimate Warrior shirt, made by Homage, which is a not-at-all-subtle nod to the praise that's been heaped on the Golden State Warriors for months. They were supposed to be the greatest team of all time -- the ultimate Warriors, so to speak -- but LeBron and the Cavs went ahead and canceled that coronation.

And LeBron topped off his outfit with an appropriate hat featuring Kermit the Frog sipping tea.
