VIDEO: LeBron James Stars in New Blaze Pizza Commercial
By Kevin Aquino
Before LeBron James stars in "Space Jam 2," the Los Angeles Lakers star assumed the role of a Blaze Pizza employee named "Ron" and gave away free pizzas in his hometown of Akron, Ohio.
What can I say?! Ron’s a man of the people ???♂️. We got that new LARGE @BlazePizza coming in ????! https://t.co/KcZWHXrcYc

Some people were elated to see the former Cleveland Cavalier on the streets, but some people didn't even bother to say hi, like this guy:
Imagine this...arguably THE greatest athlete in the history of mankind walks directly up to you...with boxes of pizza...ASKING "HOW ARE YOU?"...and you walk clean past him ??♂️

I would LOSE MY MIND if I saw LeBron anywhere, let alone approaching me offering the greatest food ever. pic.twitter.com/qLaoh2Fdhr
James is one of the pizza chain's original investors, so appearing in the company's newest commercial is only fitting.
Bron looks very happy to give pizzas away, considering his strict diet has him locked in and in pristine shape for the 2019-20 NBA season.
With LeBron's Taco Tuesday craze this summer, is it fair to wonder if Blaze Pizza will start selling tacos as well? Or will LeBron go even bigger and start an entirely new Mexican restaurant chain open exclusively on Tuesdays? Stay tuned for LeBron's next off-the-court endeavor.
