NBA Playoffs: Lakers' LeBron James Will Debut New Nike Shoe in Space Jam 2

LeBron James has his new movie Space Jam 2 release in theaters later in the summer.

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers were eliminated from the post-season by the Phoenix Suns last week in the first round.

Although the Lakers are done, James still has a massive summer ahead when his new movie Space Jam 2 will release in theaters.

James will also debut his new Nike basketball shoe in the movie, and a photo of the shoe can be seen in a Tweet from Nick DePaula of ESPN below.
