We all know that LeBron James is a champion on the basketball floor. The rings and points scored stand tall as proof. At the same time, the superstar recently flexed that he made it to the top 100 ranks in Madden NFL 25. While it floated in the air for a while, the Akron Hammer’s latest matchup with a fan online proved that he is a championship in that realm, too! Importantly, the fan came out to the spotlight to further solidify the claim.

Following the Lakers‘ Christmas Day success, the team had a two-day off before taking on the Sac-Town on Saturday. Before that, the superstar seemed to have locked himself up with some Madden challenge. Tonight, after some gaming action, Bron posted, “Just got done playing “ricankilla722” randomly on Madden. Got on the headset. Good game and convo bro! Some good laughs too! lol,” via X.

It immediately went viral as usual. However, what stood out was that the fan behind the player ID ‘ricankilla722′ came out into the spotlight. Under the X handle, Marc-Anthony Rodriguez, a fan, shared a picture of the final score of the game where LeBron James won the game by a huge 35-7 margin. The picture also carried the superstar’s player ID that read ‘Strive4G8ness23’. Reacting to the image, an X user wrote, “Damn u got belt to a** gang.” 

In response, Rodriguez wrote, “Nah that mf too damn nice. Them videos ain’t fake after all.” It’s undoubtedly a dream come true for the fan. In fact, no one really dreams of playing video games alongside their idol. Another fan wanted to know what exactly, the duo spoke during the game. Rodriguez once again teased everyone, saying, “Bron called me funny so ima take that to the bank.” 

LeBron James beating the ‘Liar’ allegation

Over the years, fans have often called out LeBron James for lying on camera. For instance, once he said he liked the film Godfather Trilogy, but the superstar was unable to recall any scene from the film when a reporter asked him to reveal his favorite scene from the film. On the other hand, there are multiple images of Bron, reading the first page of the book. Notably, he was also once cornered by a reporter when they asked him to reveal something about the book.

Amid this situation, some didn’t believe that James was actually playing Madden by himself. No one even believed those highlights reels. However, now, with the help of the fan’s X post, the superstar finally has managed to beat the allegation. Nevertheless, the superstar is currently in a good mood.

After a hard-fought victory over the Warriors in the X-Mas Day challenge, the Lakers are all set to take on the Sac Town tonight after a 2-day rest. The Kings are amidst a 5-game losing streak and have also dismissed their coach, Mike Brown ahead of the game. So, there’s a fair chance for the Lakers to win the game. What do you think?
