Hype Man LeBron James Acknowledges 215Lb Ohio State Star’s Touching Tribute Ahead of Big Game Against Maryland

LeBron James may have left Cleveland, but the Akron native still has a special place for Ohio. King James’ upbringing in Akron played a significant role in shaping his life and career. LeBron continues to show his appreciation towards Ohio and its community. James is a prominent supporter of every sporting outfit from Ohio.

His love for Ohio State runs deep, as he proclaimed that he would have played for Ohio State if he hadn’t joined the NBA. Recently, LeBron chose to hype up the Ohio State Buckeyes star player before a big game against Maryland.

LeBron Acknowledges Marvin Harrison Jr.

LeBron’s love for Ohio State goes back ages, as the 38-year-old would have suited up for Ohio State before he got drafted in 2003. As Lebron looks to prepare for the new NBA season in Vegas, his beloved Buckeyes have a crucial game against Maryland. Ohio State has eight wins against Maryland in their eight meetings dating back to 2014. But Maryland last lost in 2022, after which they have put together a seven-game winning streak.

LeBron posted a story on his Instagram handle hyping up star wide receiver of Ohio State, Marvin Harrison. He wrote, “Let’s Go 18!!! H.I.M”. The post also accompanied several fire emojis.

The Ohio State Buckeyes wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is widely regarded as the best pass-catcher in college football. The 21-year-old wide receiver already has 336 receiving yards, which has resulted in 3 touchdowns. Ohio State have won all four games of the season and King James would be hoping that the Buckeyes can go all the way and win the title. LeBron and the Lakers start their preseason against the Warriors later tonight. But LeBron wouldn’t be present, as he looks to support his “little sister” in her quest to win the WNBA title.
