LeBron James Collaborates With PlayStation For a Limited Edition Console Cover and Wireless Controller
Los Angeles Lakers superstar basketball player, LeBron James has teamed up with PlayStation. The future NBA Hall of Famer has collaborated with them to design a limited edition console cover and controller.
PlayStation announced a new limited edition PlayStation 5 console cover and DualSense wireless controller that was designed in collaboration with James. They also announced that the NBA’s all-time leading scorer is a part of their new PlayStation Playmakers program.
James posted the controller to his Instagram page on Wednesday.
“Had fun with this one @playstation!! 🎮 These words inspire me and my I Promise students and I hope do the same for gamers all over. Still crazy to think a kid from Akron who grew up playing games is getting to create something like this! 🙏🏾👑 #PlayStationPlaymaker #ad”
The specially-designed PS5 accessories, which will be limited edition, will be available in select countries around the world.
In a written statement, James said, “It’s still crazy to think a kid from Akron who grew up playing games is getting to create something like this. Designing a console cover and controller with PlayStation that gives a nod to my I Promise students and where we come from is a pretty cool thing. I hope it’s something that continues to inspire everyone who touches it, and that they have a little fun finding meaning in every detail.”
James is just one of many PlayStation Playmakers. The company has also recruited country music star Jimmie Allen, actor and comedian King Bach, professional BMX athlete Nigel Sylvester, WNBA All-Rookie NaLyssa Smith, NFL stars Ja’Marr Chase and CeeDee Lamb, French football freestyler Lisa Zimouche, Belgian football star Romelu Lukaku, Brazilian content creator Julio Cocielo, and a variety of other personalities from the worlds of gaming, sports, esports, and entertainment.
King James recently became the NBA’s all-time leading scorer last month when he toppled the record recently held by six-time NBA MVP and Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The retired center had the record for 39 years.
