LeBron James Makes Another Move Toward Mookie Betts Despite Age-Old Relation with Michael Jordan

The world of sports is a small one. And while baseball is an American staple, the country’s hearts beat for the NBA. In a move that is sure to bind fans from both sports, Dodger Stadium saw a moment of two legends from both sports connect in Mookie Betts and LeBron James. The LA Dodgers have always been a star-studded team on the diamond, but this game saw the bleachers turn it up.

The Dodgers are on a rampage through the NL West. With 76 wins and no signs of slowing, the team is looking unstoppable at the minute. And when the team’s doing so well, the city gets behind them. And with the team sporting several successful sporting franchises, the roster list for its fans is not hungry for celebrities.

LeBron James Once Again Makes His Way to Dodger Stadium

The NBA is currently enjoying its off-season. With the stars out to recoup and recover before a tip-off come October, the NBA’s stars are enjoying their off time as best they can. And the city of Los Angeles saw an icon of the sport make his way to Dodger Stadium to mark the franchise’s greatness.

LeBron James, who plies his trade for the LA Lakers saw his play commemorated at Dodger Stadium with a bobblehead giveaway. The 19-time All-Star is one of the NBA’s most vaunted players and rightfully got the recognition he deserved.

The night was only made more historic as the Dodgers finished their 3-1 rout of the Miami Marlins with two home runs from superstar Mookie Betts.

Betts too was quick to acknowledge the basketball great in the Stadium as he flagged off rounding off the bases with a quick salute to James. In a moment of two sportspersons recognizing just what it takes, James too took his hat off to the star.

The recognition comes hot on the heels of several reports of a close connection between Mookie Betts and NBA legend Michael Jordan. The slugger is an official representative of the Jordan Brand. Interestingly, Jordan and James are also each other’s fans, having praised the other’s play before. Several NBA fans have even engaged in the greatest of all time debate, pitting the two stars against each other.

Mookie Betts’ Phenomenal Season for the LA Dodgers

Betts is averaging a staggering 0.298 at the minute with an OPS of 0.989 at the last count. And his hits aren’t simply coming on a whim either. Betts is tied for 10th with 86 RBIs to his name. Add to that his stunning home run record and it’s easy to see why the Dodgers are doing so well.

While a key part of their roster, Betts will be preparing for a grueling stretch of games before the start of the post-season. The Dodgers will make their run to the pennant in hopes of repeating their 2020 achievements. And while concerns around the team’s performance will always linger, fans can rest assured with Betts at the plate.
