Some NBA players tend to make a transition into Hollywood once their career is over. Looking at the recent trends with advertisements, players aren’t new to acting. Similarly, LeBron James made his Hollywood debut by appearing in the sequel of the iconic Space Jam movie.

While James was the star of that movie, one of his costars seems to be following in his footsteps as well. LeBron James was always a top prospect in his life. Even coming into the NBA, his ceiling was always high. The ‘King’ isn’t given enough credit for being able to shoulder all that pressure at the age of 18.
