Does LeBron James have an official Threads account? All about NBA legend’s social media presence

Threads was officially launched on July 6. Thus far, LeBron James does not have an official account. That said, it might not be long until the social media king joins.

Threads is a new text-based micro-blogging app launched by Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta. It aims to create a new way for users to express ideas alongside Instagram's successful photo and video sharing. Users can seamlessly transition to Threads using their Instagram account. Users get an option to edit their profile while doing so.

LeBron James currently uses a bulk of social media platforms with some of the most prominent ones being Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok.

LeBron James has a stunning 159 million followers on Instagram. To put this into perspective, Steph Curry has 52.8 million followers and Giannis Antetokounmpo has 15.3 million. Even Drake can't match him, as he has 140 million.

LeBron James also has 52.6 million followers on Twitter. He is quite active on the platform and tweets about an array of topics.

Since Threads is similar to and primarily launched as a competitor to Twitter, James could soon be joining and would quickly gain a huge following.
