NBA legend and 4x champion LeBron James‘ middle name has kept fans puzzled for years. As we all know, the Lakers star currently possesses quite a unique name in addition to his abilities and talent on the basketball court. After all, it would be quite difficult to find other notable people named LeBron in this world.
We already know that his surname “James” is also the maiden name of his mother Gloria James. However, there doesn’t appear to be a clear explanation regarding the origins of his middle name. With that being said, let us take a closer look at what James’ middle name is and the backstory to it.
King James’ full name is LeBron Raymone James
It might surprise some fans to know that King James‘ full name is actually LeBron Raymone James. This is quite an interesting middle name and has filled fans with speculations about it. Unfortunately, the official reason hasn’t been disclosed to the public. Be that as it may, some fans have theorized that it could merely be due to the fact that Gloria James watches too many soap opera shows.

Perhaps this theory is somewhat valid since it is indeed a unique name. However, we don’t have any proof to back up these kinds of claims. Additionally, others have also opined that it could be the name of a relative or close family friend. However, there isn’t any proof to back up most of these theories.
Even though his middle name isn’t well known, we already know that King James acknowledges it and has even tweeted about his full name in the past. Sadly, he was never interviewed by the media and made to answer this specific question.
Bet is my middle name. LeBron Raymone Bet James! Let’s get it 🤣😤👑

Perhaps that would make sense considering that his middle name falls under the category of personal life. Therefore, James’ doesn’t really have to answer the media on this subject. It is also possible that the name has some special significance to the James family.
After all, Bronny James also shares the same middle name as his father, which brings more attention and confusion to this issue. Hopefully, the King gives us an explanation of his middle name in the near future.
