Four-time NBA champion LeBron James is getting his long-rumoured Fortnite skin, just in time for the release of his starring role in the anticipated Space Jam sequel. The Los Angeles Lakers small forward – and former Cleveland Cavalier – will be available in the Item Shop from 14th July, with two stylish outfits. Both will come with his iconic Nike LeBron 19 sneakers.
Alternatively, those who want to play as the GOAT in his Tune Squad guise can splash out on a separate set of threads, inspired by Space Jam: A New Legacy. Pick up his movie threads and you’ll get his Taco Tuesday variant, and if you want everything in one place, the King James bundle will throw in an exclusive loading screen. You can find more information through here.

King James and all his different hairlines coming to Fortnite!
Woooooooohooooooo(?)
MJ is the goat
Why was Messi, the footballing GOAT never on fortnite?
@rachetmarvel Neymar is!
Out of all of the skins of real people, this one’s super accurate! That’s saying something with all of the weird looking icon skins
Hooray another overpaid, irritating sports celeb comes to Fortnite to make more money. Woooo get hyped
Michael Jordan the g.o.a.t. 👑 hey whats up LeBron.haha.word up son
Now will Lebron's tattoo artist try to sue Epic for royalties like he did take two? Everyone else tries to sue them anyway so you might as well.
@trev666. Thats a fact.but dont be evil playa.haha.word up son
@rachetmarvel. Because pele and maradona is the g.o.a.t.s. of soccer ⚽.word up son
@playstation1995 AAAAAAAAGH FOOTBALL DAMN IT FOOTBAAAAAALL!!!😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂
@Keyblade-Dan. Haha i always call it Soccer.🤔😀😲😂.haha.i hear you playa.word up son
Only really know of him from that Nicki Minaj song (Blazin - “Hope you can take the heat like LeBron”). I hear he’s quite big in America though.
I keep suggesting an Uma Thurman (Kill Bill) skin to epic games but nada. Possibly a bit too niche but it would make a really cool skin (Yellow/Bruce Lee suit from Vol.1 and the Black jacket from Vol.2). A samurai pick axe and an emote with the Ironside (Excerpt) 😬 Come on epic games.
@playstation1995 😂😂😂😂
@Royalblues Yeah lot of hate for Lebron but I think when he actually retires he'll be missed. Jordan is my GOAT, but one more ring from Lebron and I put him seriously in the conversation because he went to so many more finals.
This is awesome! Doubt it'll be enough to get my kids back into it but very accurate and good to see!
To address some of the inaccuracies in the comments:
Lebron > Jordan
With his main special moves being "The Flop" and "Running to the Bench Crying Like a Baby"
Will he Kneel?
I lived in the Hood for 35 years and would love to add a few inappropriate remarks about LeBron's uninformed comments about cops, but I'll stay away from politics. I do wonder if the skins come with a virtual box of Kleenex and bobble head doll of the Boy Who Cried Wolf.
@redd214 Sorry, but you will NOT be participating in Final Jeopardy. Jordan would smoke LeBron like a blunt and discard him like an old roach clip.
@NoFaceBigFoot lol, that's funny. Hope you're enjoying the finals!!
@get2sammyb
Really? No ones said it yet.... ok I guess I will:
SLOW NEWS DAY?!
Fortnite has so many crazy crossovers.
@Omnistalgic
No one outside of the cities he’s played in will miss Leflop.
Whether he’s calling for revenge against a cop who hasn’t be awarded due process, complaining about inequality in the U.S. while raking in Millions from China, or flopping on the court then complaining about refs not falling for it, the guy has done a great job of destroying his own reputation since the 2017 finals.
This isn’t Brady or Griffey Jr or any of the other 21st century athletes that get celeb status; this is a guy who’s actively shown he’s not someone to look up to.
This is pointless
He probably waves a Chinese flag in game.
Add this to my reasons why I'll never play Fortnite.
I might consider Fortnite if they ever add Asuka Langley Soryu.
@rachetmarvel Ronaldo >
@ScottyG No one's life under a Microscope is awesome. Do you want to cherry-pick the bad things Jordan has been reported doing? There's plenty... The MAGA hat in Brady's locker and his 'hush/hush" demeanor on political issues? Lebron has also built schools, actively participates in all of his children lives, (unlike MJ) funded scholarships, rebuilt neighborhoods in Cleveland. No one is perfect, and I'm sure each and every one of us have embarrassing moments. And again, this same thing was done to MJ when he was playing, he was certainly more universally love, but still had a lot of hatred that had nothing to do with basketball.
I only know about Lebron from Space Jam: A New Legacy, but that's okay since it was the same for me with Michael J. Jordan and the original Space Jam.
@KidBoruto I went to see the new Space Jam movie today and it was great. Never seen the original though so can’t compare.
@fR_eeBritney I highly recommend watching the original, should be on Hulu or HBO if you can't watch a DVD/Blu-Ray/4K Disc.
