The "King" is in "Fortnite." The popular battle royale game dropped the LeBron James Icon Series skin, available for players to get their hands on and use to their liking. There might be a lot of things that LeBron can do, from his colorful basketball career as an All-Star player to being an actor for Space Jam 2's lead character, but this new one is the most bizarre.

According to Epic Games, "The King has Arrived," and by saying "King" there are only a few people that come to mind, and one of those is NBA Superstar LeBron James. The recent addition of James as an Icon Series brings his iconic looks in the game, including that of his beard, almost bald haircut, and enormous build.

He joins the list of those who have been given special recognition by the game, including that of Football superstar Neymar Jr., YouTube and "Fortnite" player Ninja, and other more iconic names in the popular industry.
