LeBron James has inspired a musical, and it isn't half bad.

The Cavaliers star was blown away by the viral video of "LeBron: The Musical" released this week, a parody, based on the Broadway hit "Hamilton: The Musical", which chronicled James' NBA career. 

"It's great," James said told ESPN.com. "It's unbelievable, actually. It was basically the whole journey, up until this point.

"So, obviously they've done their homework and they were pretty much spot on. And the visuals were pretty cool too. You know, all the different characters and different uniforms and different jerseys and things of that nature. I've done something right up until this point with my career to see someone be able to take the time out of their days to do something like that. It's pretty cool."

Hamilton, which took 11 Tony Awards in addition to a Grammy and a Pulitzer Prize, recently made headlines again after a performer addressed Mike Pence on stage while the Vice President-elect sat in the crowd. The encounter prompted President-elect Donald Trump to demand an apology from the cast.
