One of the widely known facts about the Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is that he is a huge fan of the NFL. He religiously watches Sunday games whenever he is able. Being an ardent follower of the game, Bron has familiarised himself with the players as well. Last year, he gave the LA Rams’ wide receiver Puka Nacua a new nickname. King James had called him “Puka Doncic,’ comparing him to the NBA beast Luka Doncic.
In a recent appearance on the Run it Back show, Puka, who is a big fan of LeBron addresses the nickname and agrees that it was one of the highest forms of respect he got.
