Billionaire LeBron James’ hairline in NBA 2K23 sparks controversy, has NBA Twitter up in arms

NBA Twitter goes wild as first images appear of LeBron James in NBA 2K23, claiming Ronnie and the gang did the King dirty

This is one of the most exciting times of the year for an NBA 2K fan. After almost 10 months of the previous 2K version being released, the brand is out and slowly releasing hints from their upcoming, newer edition.

NBA 2K23 is scheduled to go up in stores on 9th September 2022. With less than a month and a half remaining, we’ve been getting teasers in the form of clips and images from the upcoming game.

The cover athlete for this year’s edition is Suns star Devin Booker.

As expected, to honor Michael Jordan in 2K23, there is a Michael Jordan edition.

“LeBron James needs to sue 2K for that hairline!”: NBA Twitter

Every year, 2K decides to give the gamer the best experience by creating player models as precisely as possible. The team tries to get every last detail down to perfection. However, sometimes, what is perfect for them, ends up being a joke for others.

The same happened with LeBron James’ player model for 2K23.

NBA Twitter had one look at this and went up in splits.
