Coach Prime’s team just got handed their first loss. The moment of defeat came when Colorado Buffaloes clashed with Oregon Ducks. The Ducks dominated the Buffaloes 42-6 and ended their 3-win streak. Soon after the match, many reacted except fanboy LeBron James who chose to celebrate Ohio State’s victory.

Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders is the talk of the town due to polemics and personality. Even NBA players like LeBron James react to something or the other and don’t let the buzz around the coach die down. But now, the King’s silence following the coach’s maiden defeat has come under scanner.

But now, instead of displaying love or support for coach Sanders and Buffaloes after their first loss, LeBron James could not help but give a shout-out to Ohio State. Given that James is an Akron, an Ohio native, it is understandable that he would want to celebrate their victory.

But a victory that handed the Colorado Buffaloes their first loss this season made it all the more special for him. James went on to X, formerly known as Twitter and posted, “WALK OFF!!!!!!!!! LFG @OhioStateFB,” followed by praising hands emoji.

LeBron James has always been an avid football fan. In fact, if he didn’t take up basketball, there’s a good chance that James would’ve leaned over to play professional football in the NFL instead. So, the love for football, along with the love for his hometown would naturally put coach Sanders in second position.

Head coach Deion Sanders has always been a favorite among NBA players. So much so that players like Trae Young went so far as to defend him on social media when other coaches went on to call him out.

So, when coach Sanders shared a tweet regarding the ‘fake people’ in his life and how he dealt with them, the Los Angeles Lakers star couldn’t help but relate to it and chime in on it as well. This led to Cleveland Cavaliers rookie Emoni Bates to take their advice to heart on how to deal with such people in the future.
