WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) -- LeBron James is one of the most endorsed athletes on the planet, and the Philadelphia Daily News reports that a new, illegal product is touting the superstar's name without him knowing it.

According to the Daily News, there was a heroin bust in Philly last week with drug packets 'stamped with the silhouette of a basketball player and the name 'LeBron James.'" 

"Upper Darby police said that they busted a major heroin dealer from Philadelphia on Thursday who had 140 packets of the deadly drug - all of which were stamped with the silhouette of a basketball player and the name 'LeBron James,'" Stephanie Farr of the Daily News writes.  "Chitwood said that drug dealers stamp every bag of heroin with a name, but it's usually one like Hellen or Hazel or words like horse or brown sugar."
