FOCO released new Los Angeles Lakers bobbleheads of LeBron James and Jalen Hood-Schifino, both of which are limited in quantity and won’t be restocked once sold out.
The James bobblehead is to commemorate the veteran for being the NBA’s all-time leading scorer. James is set to a mini scene, dressed in the jersey of the three teams he’s played for: Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat and Lakers.
Among the details of the James bobblehead is the length of his beard increasing to represent the passage of time as he’s posed in a slam dunk. James is set atop a wood-themed base that features “NBA All-Time Scoring Leader” across the bottom.
FOCO previously released a bobblehead when James passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the leading scorer in NBA history. Additional Lakers bobbleheads still available are a set with Anthony Davis, a Lakers City Connect theme and one that highlights his remarkable court vision, among other options.
The Hood-Schifino is in recognition of being taken by the Lakers with the 17th overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. Hood-Schifino is holding a No. 1 jersey, like on Draft night, and wearing the same red cap from the momentous event.
Since being drafted by the Lakers, Hood-Schifino played in the Las Vegas Summer League and signed a shoe contract with Adidas.
Why did Lakers draft Jalen Hood-Schifino?
Hood-Schifino is unlikely to be relied on to play a key role for the Lakers, but believes he possesses key traits that were of value to the Lakers.
“I think when I met with them just my personality, the way I was genuine,” Hood-Schifino said.
“Just the way I acted, I think that caught attraction and then obviously they watch film and see you play and things like that. But I think just my character and the way I work. I’m always gonna bring it every day. I’m a high-character kid and I want to learn. I’m a sponge so I think really just my work ethic and my habits.”
