LeBron James Xbox video shared by Lakers star

The same day the console was released, LeBron James shared a video of himself unboxing his own Xbox series X bundle pack. He pans the camera over the whole box, even including the controllers which are apparently for his whole family. While James seldom shares content about him gaming, his son Bronny is known for playing NBA 2K21 (which ranked James No.1) and other online games.

However, the James' have always seemed to prefer Xbox. In 2013, the four-time NBA star had custom made a Xbox cake for Bronny, which even featured the star's NBA 2K14 cover on it. James had then won two NBA titles with the Miami Heat, and would start playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers again in 2014. Now, James has won two more NBA titles – one with the Lakers (2020) and one with the Cavaliers (2016).

The NBA 2K21 next-gen version was also released on November 10 (for both Xbox and PS5). As per reports, the standard edition is priced at $69.99. The Mamba Forever edition is to cost $99.99 for both consoles.
