After more than two decades in the NBA, LeBron James continues to redefine what longevity and dominance look like in professional sports. Though he has entered his 22nd season, the Los Angeles Lakers superstar shows no signs of slowing down. With every year that passes, the legend of LeBron only grows louder, both on the court and in pop culture.
Recently, that iconic status reached an unexpected milestone. James has become the first professional male athlete to be immortalized as a Barbie Ken doll. The release of the LeBron James Collector’s Ken doll, part of Barbie’s Signature “Kenbassadors” collection, represents his impact far beyond the game.
The reaction from LeBron fans was immediate. One viral moment captured a LeBron devotee marching down the street in full Lakers gear, accompanied by a choir, all to purchase the newly released LeBarbie doll.

What makes this cultural crossover even more fitting is that it comes at a time when James remains the most-watched player in the NBA. According to recent data, LeBron topped the league with 3.23 billion views, closely behind Luka Doncic and Stephen Curry.
