NBA legend debuts personalized Ken doll figure
LeBron James Makes History as First Male Athlete to Receive a Barbie Figure
In a groundbreaking move, basketball legend LeBron James has become the first male professional athlete to receive a Barbie figure. The Lakers superstar will be joining an elite group of women athletes and iconic figures who have previously been honoured with their own Barbie doll.
Mattel, the toy giant, has made a statement about LeBron James' Barbie figure, saying it's a significant step in breaking the mold for traditional male figures. The figure will represent James as a basketball player, with the Lakers star being modeled as a Ken figure in casual wear, including a blue jacket with his initials, stylish headphones, and a small shoulder bag.
James, who is the most successful points scorer in the NBA's history with 50,000 points, has expressed that he understands the importance of role models for children. He has been advocating for underprivileged children for years and runs his own school in his home state of Ohio.
The Barbie figure of LeBron James adds to his growing list of achievements, both on and off the court. At 36 years old, he is the oldest active professional athlete in the NBA. Mattel has also released a Barbie figure of tennis queen Serena Williams and eight other top female athletes. The Lakers superstar will soon be available for purchase, with the figure being marketed towards children as a role model.
LeBron James joins Lionel Messi, who was the first male professional athlete to have his own Barbie doll. This new addition to the Barbie collection is set to inspire a new generation of children, encouraging them to dream big and break barriers.
