Linda Cohn, host:

"O.K., LeBron James. Speaking of putting on a good show -- he usually does that -- but he puts on a good show in his commercials, too.

A lot going on off the court for LeBron in a good way, marketing-wise: what's the latest buzz on LeBron?"

Darren Rovell, business reporter:

"Well, right now it's all about The LeBrons, this commercial where he stars as four of himself. It's a pretty funny commercial."

Cohn:

"...Great acting ability..."

Rovell:

"Yes, great acting ability..."

"Well, Upper Deck has actually come up with the idea of doing LeBron action figures based off the commercial. Here's the Business LeBron."
