New Lebron James Commercial opportunity Is Going Viral
LeBron James is viewed as one of the greatest NBA players in history.
He continues to play at an elite level, even though he is nearly 40 years old.
James has defied conventional logic when it comes to his athleticism at his age, something fans have been amazed by for years.
While James is still doing unbelievable things on a basketball court, he’s starting to diversify his portfolio when it comes to off-court ventures.
He has been involved in several businesses and had a major acting role in Space Jam 2 in the last few years.
James had another opportunity to act in a recent DraftKings advertisement, starring him and Kevin Hart.
This ad has already gotten lots of views, as Hart and James are two of the most recognizable people on the planet.
James isn’t necessarily known for having great acting chops, but they’re certainly not required, especially for a 30-second commercial.
It was a bit surprising to see an active player advertising DraftKings, considering the number of betting scandals that have gone down in recent years.
James was advertising gambling on the NFL, not the NBA, but it still seems like an interesting ad to be a part of.
Many fans commented on this and were wondering the same thing, which is part of the reason why the ad has gotten so much traction.
It will be interesting to see if James continues to get any fallback from this, and if he’ll be asked to not take part in any more betting ads while he’s still in the league.
