Sheldon Bailey will get to portray one the NBA’s finest.
When it comes to action movies which involve big stunts, it’s fairly common for the film’s biggest stars to have their own stunt doubles. These stunt doubles resemble the actor in some way but do all the dangerous stunts as they are typically better trained for those kinds maneuvers. LeBron James is in the midst filming Space Jam 2 and according to Harrison Faigen SB Nation, he will be getting his own basketball double. It’s unclear as to how the basketball double will be implemented, although it was announced that actor Sheldon Bailey is being given the honor.
If you ever watched the Nickelodeon show Game Shakers, then you would remember Bailey as one the stars. He has also participated in some the NBA 2K games and even played the main character ATM in 2K18 and 2K19. Bailey is probably the best person you could ask to fill the role as he is 6’6″, played basketball in college, and also played pressionally overseas for a while. There is no doubt that he will be able to mimic some James’ mannerisms and playing style.
It will be interesting to see how Space Jam 2 turns out especially when you consider just how much hype and intrigue there has been over the last year.
