Unsurprisingly, James’ abilities in the game center around using a basketball. The 4 time NBA champion can throw the ball at his opponents and can also dribble around them to cause damage.

The former MVP is known to be a great teammate. This was also confirmed by the makers of the game, Warner Bros. “Lebron is “the ultimate teammate who can adapt to any playstyle, coupled with his unbeatable basketball moves, from dunks and alley-oops to assists and ball ricochets and more”, said the makers of the game.
Who is the actor voicing LeBron James in the game?
Although the game model of the Lakers star looks a lot like him, the character’s voice is not that of LeBron. It is not James who is voicing himself in the game, rather it is eminent actor John Bentley. He is known for his roles in movies like ‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen’ and ‘Resident Evil: Extinction’.
Apart from his filming career, Bentley has also worked in the daily entertainment industry with his work on the ‘Steve Harvey Show’. Interestingly enough, this is not the first time he is voicing a character. Bentley most famously voiced characters in ‘Avengers Confidential: Black Widow & Punisher’.
