LeBron James Uber commercial with Kevin Durant was all about advice and parenting

The video was shot in January in Akron, Ohio – before the Cavaliers and Warriors final regular season. Cari Champion drives, while James lists three destinations he will be taking them too. While the video starts with KD and James speaking about being the best in the league and taking things to the next level, the former starts speaking about James' growth – from a high school kid to a father of three while dominating the NBA.

Durant asks James as to how he becomes a better husband and father every day, while he is not at that point in his life. James retraces the steps back to his childhood, sharing how his experience with his absentee father is what helped him become better. Though he wanted to become a professional player, he also hoped to have kids early – wanting to show his father that his way was wrong. In the end, James reminds Durant that he is still learning.
