CLEVELAND -- LeBron James is being honored as a gamer -- on and off the floor.
Cleveland's star will appear on the cover of NBA 2K, the popular video game that's celebrating its 20th anniversary. The cover will include inspirational words chosen by James, who is chasing a fourth NBA title.
James says he's humbled to be chosen for the 20th anniversary cover "of a game I've played and loved since I was a little kid."
