James chimed in on Instagram, joking, "I mean, I got work to do in other places too!"
It turns out James isn't the only NBA player with a World Cup doppelganger. His former Lakers teammate Kyle Kuzma also noticed a resemblance between himself and Brazilian forward Richarlison.

James has been sidelined for the Lakers' last five games due to a left adductor strain but is reportedly expected to return Friday against the San Antonio Spurs.
