LeBron James. 22 years in the NBA and still a force to reckon with. That’s no secret. But here’s another not-so-secret fact—he’s a die-hard football fanatic! When he’s not dominating the hardwood, the 39-year-old legend is glued to the NFL, living his best football “junkie” life. And guess what, his predictions? Absolute fire.

James turned into a perfectionist when making his week 16 picks. With a bit of homework, the 20x All-Star forward earned big from $19.68 billion company DraftKings. LeBron James chose Vikings’ sizzling receiver Justin Jefferson, Buffalo Bills’ James Cook, and Panthers’ Chuba Hubbard for his touchdown parlay. And well, his bets were spot-on!

You’d call it a perfect clean sweep from the 4x champ. And well, James has all the reason to celebrate his little big win. Thus, he shared an Instagram Story: “🤷🏾‍♂️😁🏈” Celebrating with his 159 million followers, King James simply hit the jackpot, as he shared the post by DraftKings captioned, “LEBRON CASHED HIS WEEK 16 TOUCHDOWN PARLAY ‼️ ✅.” Two months ago, he made similar predictions. But this time, a +412 parlay for the perfect touchdown predictions did wonders for Bron. Justin Jefferson has been a common name in both instances. And well, he might be James’ lucky charm, who knows?
