VIDEO: LeBron's appearance in 'Trainwreck' trailer is pretty strong

Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY Sports

When it was revealed in May that LeBron James would make an appearance in the Judd Apatow vehicle "Trainwreck," the assumption was that his cameo - one of many big-name cameos announced - would be relatively small.

The first trailer for the movie, which stars comedian Amy Schumer and former Saturday Night Live stalwart Bill Hader, suggests James may have a more significant role. Hader plays a sports doctor, and James - playing himself - is Hader's marquee patient.

That includes, according to a scene in the trailer, being Hader's romantic confidant and viewing partner for "Downton Abbey."

Have a look:

The cast features an unbelievable collection of funny people, so there's a good chance James has his face all over a summer hit. The movie is due out in the U.S. on July 17.
