You know the one. There’s some guy training in the pool, then there’s a guy sitting poolside coaching him, a little guy like Urkel jumps in the pool, then some guy with a big fro jumps off the diving board. The Nike site calls them The Lebrons so I assume one of them is Lebron James? Which one is him? Are the other guys also NBA players? ---

Ain’t computers a bitch? Those are all the same guy, Lebron James, acting all the parts. Kinda like Eddie Murphy in those Nutty Professor movies.
