I'm sure you guys have seen the commercials with Lebron James. What is your opinion? It seems to me that he may be one of the better "actors" among athletes. Usually when an athlete is playing a part, he is stilted and unconvincing. James seems at ease playing a acting role as anything else.
Well, he's no Merlin Olsen.

I agree. He seems to be relaxed and have no problem making fun of himself either.
I'm sure Lebron is pretty well trained. Afterall, he is the face the face of the league.
It's more than training. It is something with him. After all, Michael Jordan was the face of the league too and made tons of commercials, but all in all, he was a horrible actor (as witnessed in Space Jam)
Given that he went straight from high school to the NBA would indicate it's more talent than training, as well.
The absolute worst is Greg Oden. The next worst is just about any NASCAR driver.
He is funny. The car insurance commercial where the SUV gets broken into and they find the "Kid 'N Play" Album.
I think Lebron is HILARIOUS- he does very well in all his commercials.
Lebron's pretty good, but let's be honest....he can't hold a candle to Yao!
"Eat the head!"

You're right about that one!
but, will he stay in Cleveland or go Hollywood?
I agree that the Kid N' Play one is great.

I do like how they make use of Greg Oden's inability to act. It makes it even funnier.

No. He'll be in NYC. Maybe he'll hit Broadway.
Let's not hype Lebron's acting ability too much; he's no Rick Fox.
LeBron will never top Bernard King delivering the "Coach, I think I'm a f@$" line in Fast Break.
LeBron does come off as very likable and real.
I thought he was great on Saturday Night Live.
Loved him especially during the Olympics.
His ESPN commercials are some of the best.
I love to watch him play.
I hate to say it, but worry Tyreke Evans shows a hint of LJ.
Yep, I guess it's official, looks like I'm a Lebron James fan.
I just think Lebron is very, very smart...He really does seem like a natural...He's probably one of those guys who would be successful in anything he chose to undertake...He's seems, from afar, to be a guy that you would want to be friends with, basketball player or not

"I'm a chameleon!"
Lebron is awesome. Nuff said.
