CLEVELAND, Ohio –-The role LeBron James plays in the raunchy yet touching new movie "Trainwreck" is both against type and true to it.
The four-time NBA Most Valuable Player and franchise-maker with the Cavaliers plays his role as effortlessly and convincingly as he slam-dunked on Jimmy Fallon on the "Tonight" show earlier this week when he promoted the movie.
James' part is a small one. The sidekick of a New York Knicks orthopedic surgeon, played by Bill Hader, James supports Hader in his relationship with a bad girl waiting to be reformed, Amy Schumer. The supporting role in itself is a twist for James, a player who has been the center of attention on almost any basketball floor he has stepped on since high school in Akron.
