NBA: 30 NBA players you forgot acted in movies or TV shows – LeBron James

Let’s address the Hollywood elephant in the room first. No one is surprised that LeBron James has acted because his face was plastered everywhere alongside that of an animated rabbit all summer long. What might surprise you, or perhaps remind you of memories long forgotten, is that James has actually appeared in a number of other shows and movies.

Like many other professional athletes he showed up in Entourage, but he also had a prominent role in Judd Apatow’s 2015 romantic comedy Trainwreck, where James was a supporting actor alongside Amy Schumer. He also had a memorable appearance on Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants.

The acting performance that you truly might not be aware of is also perhaps his best.

Does anyone doubt that LeBron James could put down a 6’8″ sandwich? Seems realistic enough to me, just like the upper body muscles. Hopefully he can work his Teen Titans catchphrase into a press conference or two this upcoming season.
