Meh if you knew me, you’d know this is par for the course for things I’d say in real life.

Calling someone out for And-1 fishing is cringe-worthy, but now I’m defending myself which is also a little cringe-worthy. So we all lose Pistol.

To be fair i saw this reported like 2 weeks back, the original story I saw though outlined the fact that stunt doubles are the norm for sports movies even when the people involved are athletes you just don't hear about.

It's the standard for most movies, especially when they invovle high calibre stars who are worth a lot of money.

The people involved in the movie aren't going to put LeBron in a situation where he is going to get himself injured making the film. And you're not even going to notice the stunt double in most cases. And they aren't always used ON screen, they could be used to set up a shot, to get the lighting and the position of the camera correct by having the stunt doubles in place of the actual actors before they actually film the shot.
Why so serious?

'Body' doubles can also be used for tedious scenes that the star doesn't have to be a part of.

This movie will likely be the biggest hit to Lebron's legacy since the 2011 Finals.

IF Lebron played for YOUR team.. you'd be totally okay with this.


You know he as a stunt double so he can be even more ready to win a ring this year. Get ready folks.

Maybe LeBron can use him to cover for him on defense while he rests.
If you have more "Posts" than "And1", don't feel bad if I didn't reply to you - I just don't like to speak with people who argue a lot :beer:
