Many things made the LeBron James Sprite Cranberry commercial memorable. The way the advertisement and the tale unfolded—with James having entered the house inexplicably carrying the soft drink—attracted a significant amount of attention. As shown in the video, James intervenes to lift the holiday spirits of a family enjoying Christmas. 

Most viewers remembered his dialogue in the advertisement, which included the slogan “Wanna Sprite,” and it greatly aided Sprite in forging strong bonds with consumers. The advertisement’s soundtrack also got viewers bopping along. Many others even requested to hear the song in its full version.

Over the years, LeBron James has served as the face of several NBA memes. The LA Lakers superstar is frequently the subject of funny jokes that go viral in some way. James recently came under attack online for fabricating events.

Fans refused to believe that James was being sincere when he said that he thought Kobe Bryant would score at least 70 points before the 81-point game or that he listened to “Migos” during his first season with the Miami Heat.
