LeBron James to have an Icon Series Skin in Fortnite

The Icon Series in Fortnite initially set out for paying homage to the best players of the game. The series kicked off with a skin for Ninja, one of the most popular Fortnite players. It has since had a lot of other people like Travis Scott, Marshmello, Major Lazer, TheGrefg, LazarBeam, Lachlan. Recently soccer stars such as Neymar Jr., Harry Kane, and Marco Reus.

Fortnite also has had the jerseys of all 30 NBA teams in their in-game store before. However, now many assume that the skin that would come would also have a Toon Squad jersey, for Space Jam 2.
