Watch: LeBron James’ lookalike from the Dominican Republic shares uncanny similarities with LA Lakers superstar

It appears that many LeBron James doppelgangers are coming out this season. A trending video of James' lookalike was recently posted on Twitter by "Daily Loud." Apparently, he's the Dominican Republic variant of the NBA superstar. The differences might be noticeable, but their similarities are uncanny. It's most likely due to the beard.

What made the short clip hilarious was the fact that the Dominican Republic LBJ spoke in his native language. He also rocked a Cleveland Cavaliers jersey and snapback cap. LeBron James would be amused if not bursting into laughter after watching the video.

As mentioned a while ago, this isn't the first time a "King James" doppelganger has been spotted. James had another lookalike in attendance last season when the LA Lakers hosted the Houston Rockets in their seventh game. While the real LeBron looked at the scoreboard in the second quarter, the clone was in the background enjoying the game with his popcorn.

A history of LeBron James lookalikes

Patrick Christopher

In November 2021, the internet was buzzing when a LeBron James lookalike made an appearance at Staples Center. Apparently, ESPN confirmed that LBJ's clone was a former NBA player Patrick Christopher. He briefly played for the Utah Jazz in the 2014-15 season. Christopher played four games and decided to leave.

The famous James clone moved on to become a fashion designer after his short basketball stint. Christopher was only in attendance last season to support his brother Josh Christopher, who was playing for the Houston Rockets. James and Christopher interacted with each other on social media after a picture of them together went viral.

Bronny James

Another person who could be considered LBJ's clone is none other than his oldest son Bronny James. Many claim that Bronny looks more like his mother compared to the NBA legend. However, Bronny has some similarities with his father's facial features. James Jr. looks like a high school version of LeBron.

Besides looks, even their playstyles are similar. After watching several Bronny James highlights, many of his dunks replicated the takeoff and form of LeBron James. It's not surprising considering he's being coached by the legend himself.
