When he was a senior in high school in Akron, Ohio, Los Angeles Lakers superstar small forward LeBron James drove a Hummer H2.

Now, James is set to star in a new commercial for Hummer, via CNBC:

General Motors is resurrecting the Hummer, buying Super Bowl airtime to debut an all-electric pickup version of its gas-guzzling, military-style SUV, which was discontinued a decade ago, according to people familiar with the plans.

The Detroit automaker has signed NBA star LeBron James to appear in a new commercial during the Feb. 2 event, according to the people, who asked not to be identified because the plans aren’t yet public.

The Lakers currently have the best record in the Western Conference. LeBron is playing like an MVP now that he’s healthy again. The King is putting up 25.1 points, 7.8 rebounds and 10.8 assists and shooting 48.6 percent overall, 34.7 percent from the 3-point line and 68.8 percent from the charity stripe.

With Anthony Davis and James leading the charge, the Lakers have a good chance of winning the championship this season.
