In a press conference on Wednesday, LeBron James was basically asked how he is able to manage life in the real world as a high-profile superstar athlete in the public eye.
“Well, I’m able to pick and choose. I do normal stuff, I guess. I went to the movies last week at a regular movie theater. I went to go see umm…. What’s the movie with the girls and they be singing? ‘Pitch Perfect 2’ – which is unbelievable.”
LeBron James continued his impromptu review of Pitch Perfect 2 by shining a spotlight on one of the most popular characters of the franchise – Fat Amy.
“Fat Amy is awesome. I love her. Wherever you are, you’re awesome.”
Rebel Wilson, the actress known for playing “ Fat Amy ” in both Pitch Perfect movies, responded to LeBron James’ favorable review of her performance with a review of her own on Twitter.
“Thanks [LeBron James] for the shout out today. Your taste in movies is as amazing as your basketball!”

LeBron James is not the only person commenting on Pitch Perfect 2 recently. Even though the movie was released in theaters nearly three weeks ago, there are still quite a few people talking about the Elizabeth Banks-directed sequel on Twitter.
my dad was like ‘let’s have a man’s night out’ so we drove the movie theater and watched Pitch Perfect 2 and cried at the end like men do

Keep in mind that several of the Green Bay Packers were featured in Pitch Perfect 2 as one of the a capella teams during an impressive riff-off scene.

After watching Pitch Perfect 2 I really think that the Green Bay Packers shld release an a capella single. It would get me to watch football — Eva Chen (@evachen212) June 2, 2015
If there is ever a Pitch Perfect 3 , perhaps LeBron James and some of the other Cleveland Cavaliers will want to join the party.
Pitch Perfect 2 has reportedly generated over $229.6 million at the box-office worldwide since its release on May 15. With that type of commercial success, the chances of at least one more follow-up sequel are pretty high.
