Was he static? I'm guessing Jordan had more charisma or emotion than Lebraun. Was he also raising a fist or taking the knee during the movie? Maybe wearing BLM logos or using Tweety to tweet about white cops or whatnot?
shareYOU DON'T SEEM TO KNOW MUCH ABOUT LEBRON JAMES.
shareHave you seen it
shareLame. Jordan was better.
shareUh, because he's the best active basketball player on the planet? Or at least he was a few years ago when the decision to make the movie was made.
Now if we really had to play one game against aliens for our freedom, you'd probably pick a team with:
LeBron James
Chris Paul
Kawhi Leonard
Kevin Durant
Steph Curry
Bring it on.
I don't really know anything about American basketball except that it's a huge industry and all about the shoes? (Massive collector's market for the shoes.) Haha. Anyway, it's apparent that it was some collaboration with Nike for the player to be the star of the movie because the Nike logo shows prominently at times and there's even a scene where he falls out of the sky into a Nike logo-shaped canyon! It is so ridiculously obvious as a product placement thing. I thought it was really low actually.
So yeah, that's probably how he got in the movie. He is a big basketball player with a big Nike contract and Nike got to show itself throughout the movie, and everyone got money.
