LeBron James decided to have some fun while in Los Angeles by going undercover as an employee of Blaze Pizza.
Who says athletes can’t have fun? Back in March, when the Cleveland Cavaliers went to Los Angeles to play the Lakers and the Clippers back-to-back, LeBron James decided to take on another job in between. While LeBron’s life as a basketball star is more profitable and exciting, he decided that working at Blaze Pizza wouldn’t be so bad either.
Watch as he pretends to work as “Ron” on his first day:
The customers’ reactions are priceless, from people who either recognize him and don’t want to say anything, to others who are totally oblivious to the fact. The best part of the video is when LeBron pretends to not know anything about basketball and confuse it with football.
There was one girl who said he looks like Dwyane Wade, which doesn’t do Cavs fans any favors as rumors of him leaving the team continue to swirl, but clarified in a Facebook comment that it was meant to be a joke:
Of course, this move wasn’t accidental. LeBron announced back in October of last year that he would be signing on as an investor of Blaze Pizza meaning it was only a matter of time before advertisements with their company would start popping up. Needless to say, this was a very successful ad campaign on Blaze Pizza’s part, and it’s sure to drive a lot more customers in the future.
Although, it’s unlikely that they’ll get to see LeBron there again.
