When basketball fans think of a star name in the NBA that they would wish to hear his story, then LeBron James’s growing up story in Ohio will interest anyone. His rise to becoming a multiple NBA championship winner was a result of steady progress and commitment to his day-to-day on and off-court duties.
However, ‘Trainwreck’ gave LeBron James, a multiple MVP award winner, the opportunity to translate a personal success story into a movie, sharing a hilarious moment with Bill Hader.
LeBron James’ hilarious encounter with Bill Hader
Apart from his NBA career, LeBron James has ventured into Hollywood, taking on roles as an executive producer or actor. In 2015, he played a part in the $35 million budget film “Trainwreck,” featuring a humorous scene with co-star Bill Hader.
In the movie, James, portraying himself, attempts to advise Hader’s character, sports doctor Aaron Conners, about improving his sex life and reaching his full potential. Using comparisons to his playing days with the Miami Heat and winning consecutive championships in 2012 and 2013, James shares insights.
Reflecting on his time in Cleveland, James expresses high praise for his hometown. However, Conners contends that Miami is better than Cleveland, and LeBron’s guidance isn’t beneficial. The scene takes a comedic turn when James suggests splitting the bill, but Conners insists he pays. James humorously struggles to find his wallet, leading the sports doctor to foot the bill.
