Fans react to the new Nike commercial featuring LeBron James and Aquaman
The famous Aquaman actor Jason Momoa appeared as Father Time in Nike’s latest commercial. Fans around the NBA world were quite stunned as James pulled off a perfect move ahead of the clash against the Warriors. One of the fans commented, “LEBRON And AQUAMAN?!?!”

The idea of LeBron James going against Aquaman was quite interesting to witness for the fans. James has shown last season that he is not done yet. The 18-time All-Star signed a two-year extension contract with the Los Angeles Lakers worth $97.1 million. Thus, LeBron is not going away anytime soon and still possesses the power to take down the toughest of opponents.

Moreover, LBJ averaged 30.3 PPG last season and came extremely close to the scoring title. He also surpassed Karl Malone to become the second-highest All-time NBA scorer after Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Here are some of the interesting reactions of the fans ahead of Tuesday’s season-opening encounter between the Lakers and the Golden State Warriors.

LeBron James looked fit and quite slim in the commercial. He looks ready to fight out another season with the Lakers. Hopefully, LeBron would help the team win another championship after a disappointing last season.
