NBA legend unveils personalized Ken figurine during first public showing
LeBron James Makes History with First-Ever Ken Barbie Figure
In a groundbreaking move, basketball legend LeBron James has become the first male professional athlete to receive a Barbie figure. The figure, produced by toy giant Mattel, will be modeled as a Ken figure.
The decision to represent James as a Ken figure is a nod to his versatility and style, embodying his hoop skills off the court as well. The Ken figure will be dressed in casual clothing, including a blue jacket with his initials, stylish headphones, and a small crossbody bag.
James, who holds the record for the most points scored in NBA history and is the NBA's all-time leading scorer with 50,000 points, made a statement about the importance of role models for kids in relation to receiving his Barbie figure. He emphasised the impact he hopes to have on children who look up to him as a role model.
Last year, Mattel released tennis queen Serena Williams and eight other top female athletes as Barbie figures, and the company is continuing this trend with James' Ken figure. Despite not wearing a Lakers jersey, the figure serves as a testament to James' enduring influence in the sports world.
At 36 years old, James is the oldest active professional athlete in the NBA. Beyond his on-court achievements, he is an advocate for underprivileged children and runs a school in his hometown of Ohio.
LeBron James' Ken figure will be available for purchase, marking a significant milestone in the world of sports and dolls. This unique collaboration highlights the importance of representation and the power of role models in shaping the future.
