Even LeBron James was eliminated from the playoffs for the first time in his career, the Los Angeles Lakers superstar is still enjoying his summer.

James has been busy the past few weeks drumming up the hype for his upcoming movie, “Space Jam: A New Legacy.” Several clips and videos have been made their round online, while James is also set to be featured in the video game Fortnite.

The film is set to release publicly this Friday in theatres and on HBO Max, but James and his family attended the West Coast opening and it looks like the 36-year-old and his family had a great time along with other Lakers star Anthony Davis and other players and celebrities:

As with any Los Angeles premiere, the stars were out in full force as several high-profile people like former Miami Heat teammate Chris Bosh joined James for the viewing. Celebrities such as Don Cheadle — who appears in Space Jam as the main villain — John Legend and Zendaya also made their way to the event.

Space Jam is one of the summer’s most highly-anticipated films and it will be fun to see exactly what the film has in store.
