2 Years Before Breaking the Internet, Deion Sanders Trolled Lebron James and Stephen A. Smith With Hilarious “Prime” Look

In his debut, Deion Sanders, nicknamed “Coach Prime,” led the Colorado Buffaloes to a 45-42 victory over the 17th-ranked TCU Horned Frogs. Following nine months of excitement and preparation, the victory signified the beginning of a new era in Colorado football. Sanders hoped to resurrect the football team and return the Buffaloes to prominence with an extraordinary roster change.

But before coach Sanders’ debut, he had broken the internet. He posted photoshopped pictures of LeBron James and Stephen A. Smith’s faces in the famous prime look. That had the internet go wild.

Sanders sent shockwaves on the internet

Deion Sanders wanted to refresh a stranded team in Boulder, Colorado, with an extraordinary roster change. Shedeur Sanders, the coach’s son, passed for 510 yards and four touchdowns, cementing his image as a budding college football star. Dylan Edwards, a rookie, caught three touchdowns and ran for another, demonstrating his flexibility and ability to make plays. Travis Hunter, a two-way star and former top recruit, had a remarkable showing as a defensive back with 11 catches for 119 yards and a vital interception.

Colorado defeated TCU, accumulating 565 total yards in an offensive battle. Four Buffaloes receivers capped the 100-yard mark in a single game. It was a program-record performance and a historic achievement for the Buffs. Dylan Edwards scored the game-winning touchdown on a fourth-and-goal play, and the Buffaloes’ defense held strong in the dying minutes to clinch a thrilling triumph.

The picture garnered a lot of attention from the fans as Sanders was seen trolling the famous athletes. But as you know James, he is not one to listen and commented on the photo.

LeBron James responds to the photo

The great Jackson State football coach, Deion Sanders, had set Instagram on fire with a clever throwback shot from his playing days. Sanders boldly walks through a tunnel in the shot, but what drew everyone’s attention were the celebrity faces placed on the image.
