You’ve also acted. You were hilarious in Trainwreck (2015), in which you played sort of a heightened version of yourself. You’re so big — both in physical stature and in fame — do you think you can play an actual character? LeBron James: I think that all will boil down to the creative writing and to the role. If the role is appropriate and I feel like I can nail it, then I wouldn’t mind doing that at all. I feel like I could turn and be someone else that’s not LeBron James. In Trainwreck, my name was not LeBron James. But it was a version of me, my typical self, [just] playing Bill Hader’s best friend during that movie. But, yeah, I would love to explore, and if the scripts start to roll in and there’s an opportunity for me to do some acting and I have the time — obviously, post-career — I don’t mind looking at it and seeing if I can make it happen, for sure. -via The Hollywood Reporter / June 18, 2025
