Airrack&#8217;s latest video on his channel was about impersonators and trying to fool people into thinking they are real celebrities such as the\u00a0LA Lakers\u00a0superstar.<\/p>\n<p data-idx=\"1\" data-imp-id=\"article_paragraph_1\">In the video below, the 27-year-old vlogger used impersonators for celebs such as singers SZA and Ariana Grande, as well as James. They used the LeBron doppelganger to get inside Boa Steakhouse, a five-star restaurant in Hollywood that has a strict policy.<\/p>\n<p data-idx=\"2\" data-imp-id=\"article_paragraph_2\">But using the impersonator, Airrack and his crew got into the restaurant and fooled the staff into thinking that it was the real four-time NBA MVP. He was wearing a full Team USA tracksuit, a Lakers cap and a perfectly made copy of the 2024 Olympic gold medal.<\/p>\n<p data-idx=\"3\" data-imp-id=\"article_paragraph_3\"><em>Watch the YouTube video (6:43 onward) below to see people get fooled by a fake LeBron:<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed\" data-src=\"youtube\">\n<div class=\"yt-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oJ6ww2fmuJM\" width=\"660\" height=\"370\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Who impersonated LeBron James?<\/h2>\n<p data-idx=\"4\" data-imp-id=\"article_paragraph_4\">A LeBron James look-alike recently went viral at a show in the Philippines though it&#8217;s hard to impersonate the\u00a0NBA\u00a0superstar. The beard might be easy to grow but his size is a big giveaway for anyone trying to pose as the four-time MVP.<\/p>\n<p data-idx=\"5\" data-imp-id=\"article_paragraph_5\">In the video above, James was impersonated by a basketball trainer named Cheikh Jelani Moses. He played in the Street Baller Tournament and his profile on its official website showed his real height and weight. He stands at 6-foot-5 and weighs around 220 pounds.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed\" data-src=\"instagram\"><iframe id=\"instagram-embed-0\" class=\"instagram-media instagram-media-rendered\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DAeMJ6USC7D\/embed\/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sportskeeda.com&amp;rp=%2Fbasketball%2Fnews-watch-youtuber-airrack-uses-lebron-james-imposter-fool-5-star-restaurant-staff#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A279%2C%22ls%22%3A90.59999999962747%2C%22le%22%3A249.59999999962747%7D\" height=\"881\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-instgrm-payload-id=\"instagram-media-payload-0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p data-idx=\"6\" data-imp-id=\"article_paragraph_6\">While there were similarities in their features, it was just mostly the beard. He got away with it since he had a cap, sunglasses and Team USA gear on. And for those unaware,\u00a0LeBron James\u00a0stands at a menacing 6-foot-9 and his listed weight is 250 pounds although some players dispute this and point out that he&#8217;s really around 270.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>JJ Redick confirms LeBron James&#8217; preseason debut<\/h2>\n<p data-idx=\"7\" data-imp-id=\"article_paragraph_7\">LeBron James missed the LA Lakers&#8217; first preseason game on Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. James was given an extra rest since he didn&#8217;t have enough free time last summer because of his stint with Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics.<\/p>\n<p data-idx=\"8\" data-imp-id=\"article_paragraph_8\">&#8220;King James&#8221; watched on the sidelines as the Anthony Edwards-less Timberwolves dominated the Lakers. Coach\u00a0JJ Redick told reporters\u00a0on Saturday that James, as well as Anthony Davis, will be making their preseason debut on Sunday versus the Phoenix Suns.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Yeah, it&#8217;ll be great for us. You know, we&#8217;ve mixed some lineups during practices and not just had purple versus gray, where it&#8217;s strictly just the starters. So, you know, we&#8217;ve had different groups play, and we&#8217;ll do that again tomorrow, but it&#8217;ll be good for those five guys to get some run together,&#8221; Redick said.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed\" data-src=\"embed\">\n<div class=\"sk-embed-wrapper\" data-embed-type=\"tweet\">\n<div class=\"sk-embed-container\">\n<div class=\"sk-embed-content\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?creatorScreenName=davidjuanpaolo&amp;dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=true&amp;id=1842670136085373130&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sportskeeda.com%2Fbasketball%2Fnews-watch-youtuber-airrack-uses-lebron-james-imposter-fool-5-star-restaurant-staff&amp;sessionId=cf40827806abea7ee167ba36f53a9048cb028c36&amp;siteScreenName=sportskeeda&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1842670136085373130\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-idx=\"9\" data-imp-id=\"article_paragraph_9\">The LA Lakers have four more preseason games following Sunday&#8217;s contest against Phoenix.
