LeBron James loves football as much as basketball. From his admiration for Deion Sanders to his relentless love for the NFL, the NBA superstar can’t have enough of the football action. He consistently draws inspiration from the greats in the game and engages with them, too. As an icing on the cake, the incredible athlete is also a gaming lover. He has been on the scene for more than two decades and has seen the evolution of his favorite games first-hand.
What’s the better mixture for James than playing against a former NFL superstar in a game based on the sport?

LBJ’s fun-filled and hard-working summer is going to close soon as he will report to the training camp soon. The preseason games are less than two weeks away, so soon, he will imbibe with NBA action. Therefore, these are precious last few days before the main action begins.
That’s why LBJ joined in another fun adventure. Dez Bryant posted a screenshot of him beating Cowboys’ Trevon Diggs during a Madden game. He wrote “SMACKED HIM” and in the photo, his Madden squad, the Kansas City Chiefs beat Diggs’ New York Jets 45-22. King James caught a whiff of this post. He then challenged the wide receiver. He wrote, ”Chiefs huh??? Nice!!! Soon you and I 🤝🏾”.
Chiefs huh??? Nice!!! Soon you and I 🤝🏾

As a Cowboys fan, he couldn’t stand this smackdown of Cowboys’ young Cornerback Trevon Diggs. Using Patrick Mahomes’ Chiefs, the 2014 touchdown leader flexed his huge win. However, this didn’t sit well with James, who now wants a one-on-one on Madden against the former NFL star. This playful back-and-forth signifies how much the Forward enjoys the NFL scene.
Apart from that, he is also a huge Madden lover. The Forward loves Madden like the NFL. Last year on his birthday, he received a terrific surprise.
