Following this historic news, one former player took to social media to side with the toy of another basketball icon.<\/p>\n<p>After the first photos of LeBron&#8217;s doll hit social media, a post went viral comparing it to an old action figure of Michael Jordan. The post jabbed at the LA Lakers forward for not having on any basketball attire.<\/p>\n<p>Among those to chime in on this post was former Minnesota Timberwolves first-round pick Rashad McCants. He snubbed LeBron James in this debate, siding with the old MJ toy.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"bets-today-poll\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"preview-card-holder bets-today-poll\">\n<p><span class=\"date\"\/> \u2022 <span class=\"time\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"march-madness-logo\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/march-madness-logo.png\" height=\"42\" width=\"99\" alt=\"march madness logo\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Damn damn damn\u2026.. give me the action figure lol&#8221; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>Long after his playing career, McCants is still tapped into all things in and around the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/basketball\/nba\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">NBA<\/a>. These days, he can regularly be heard as a co-host on Gilbert Arenas&#8217; <em>Gil&#8217;s Arena<\/em> podcast.<\/p>\n<p>LeBron James made history with this venture, as he is Mattel&#8217;s first ambassador for a Ken doll. He worked closely with the team to create it, adding some personal touches to fully encapture his likeness. One of the most notable differences is that Mattel made the LeBron doll slightly taller than they do with Ken.<\/p>\n<p>For those interested in securing this doll, it won&#8217;t be long before it hits the shelves. The LeBron figures are set to be available for purchase at Walmart, Target or on Amazon April 14th. It is expected to sell at a retail price of around $75.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-author-info-parent\">\n<span class=\"about-the-author\">About the author<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-info-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-pic-holder\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"author-pic\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,&lt;svg width=\" height=\"100\"\/><rect width=\"100\" height=\"100\" style=\"fill:rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\/>&#8221; data-lazy=&#8221;https:\/\/keedag.sportskeeda.com\/user-pic\/752974-1648649743-200.jpg?w=200&#8243;<br \/>\nalt=&#8221;Kevin McCormick&#8221; height=&#8221;72&#8243; width=&#8221;72&#8243;&gt;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-detail-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-bio\">\n<p class=\"author-bio\" id=\"author-bio-text\">\nKevin McCormick is a basketball writer at Sportskeeda with over four years of experience in journalism and a bachelor&#8217;s degree in Sports Management Marketing from Holy Family University.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin has worked with various notable outlets throughout his career, including 97.3 ESPN, ClutchPoints, Heavy Sports, and Sports Illustrated\/FanNation, before joining Sportskeeda in March 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Specializing in NBA and WNBA coverage, Kevin&#8217;s passion for basketball stems from his hometown team, the Philadelphia 76ers.
