# Basketball icon LeBron James has become the first male professional athlete to be immortalised as a Ken doll by toy company Mattel. This special edition doll, which is in partnership with the LeBron James Family Foundation, captures the Los Angeles Lakers player’s unique fashion sense. It is also taller than the standard Ken doll. James says this is an opportunity to recognise the powerful impact of role models who instil confidence, inspire dreams, and show kids that they, too, can achieve greatness.
