The Los Angeles Lakers are in quite a predicament after LeBron James went down with an injury. James hit the deck hard during the game against the Dallas Mavericks and has been sidelined for a few weeks. However, during his time off the court, the 4x champion continues to endorse brands online. James partnered up with a $103 billion company once again as he recuperated from his injury, leading to mixed reactions from fans around the league.

LeBron James and Sony joined hands to present a custom PS5 controller inspired by ‘The King.’ The controller is all black with colorful graffiti and art on both sides, commemorating James’ ‘King’ logo along with a few quotes.

LeBron James pairs up with Sony once again

The Lakers star went to his Instagram to showcase the new controller launched by Sony. He captioned the video, “Had fun with this one @playstation!! These words inspire me and my I Promise students and I hope do the same for gamers all over.” 

“Still crazy to think a kid from Akron who grew up playing games is getting to create something like this!” added James. The controller features an ‘Everything Is Earned’ quote right in the middle, with ‘I Promise’ written on the right side.
