Ain’t no better day to be a Buckeyes fan than today. The Ohio State Buckeyes just flipped the script on national championship hype, and they did it with a secret weapon: King James himself. Forget Tom Brady and Michigan’s Week 2 hype flops against Texas—the Buckeyes brought LeBron James to narrate their “Chapter of Champions” trailer, and the internet is absolutely LeShook.

LeBron, the OG Buckeyes stan from Akron, brought the vibes and the swagger. “They wrote us off, but every time, we kept writing,” he said, sprinkling that Ohio grit all over the video. As footage of the 2002 and 2014 championship dubs rolled, you could feel the energy hit a whole different level. This wasn’t just a trailer—it was a Buckeye manifesto, narrated by a GOAT who knows all about winning under the brightest lights.

The timing couldn’t have been more savage. Michigan, and their GOAT alumni Brady, flopped hard against Texas earlier in the season. After that Tom Brady hype video, the Wolverines lost 31-12. The irony is Ohio State literally just beat the ‘L’ outta Longhorns (28-14) in the Cotton Bowl. LeBron didn’t have to say it, but the shade was clear as day.

Look, Michigan rolled Ohio State clean in week 14, winning by a field goal, making the game 13-10. All credits and props for Sherrone Moore, Don Martindale, and the Wolverines. But who’s in the playoffs now and who’s in Cabo? That’s a major W for Ryan Day. Ever since that week 14 loss, Ohio State has been on a demonic run.

From shots of players grinding in the Woody to playoff highlights, LeBron brought the type of fire that gets you hyped like it’s game day in the ‘Shoe. “Our story is unfinished. Our story has one last chapter to write. The chapter of champions.” he closed. And just like that, Buckeye Nation went LeWild.

LeBron narrating Buckeyes' hype—Is this the ultimate power move against Michigan's recent flop?

Have an interesting take?

The LeFans went crazy for the glorious King Lebron X Ohio State hype video

The hype video had Buckeye Nation and beyond absolutely buzzing. When LeBron James dropped the hype reel on IG, fans hit the comments faster than a LeChase-down block.

The fans started it with, “Getting LeBron to do this is just a power move 🔥🔥🔥” This fan gets it. You don’t just casually recruit GOAT of basketball to narrate your championship hype unless you’re planning to dominate. Ohio State looking forward to rag-doll the Notre Dame on January 20th. Getting LeBron to do this is an absolute power move.

This Buckeye fan went, “Ohhh helllll yeah 🅾🙌🏻” The vibes are diabolical. The Scarlet and Gray faithful were ready to ride or die after hearing LeBron hype their squad. And this one, everybody was waiting for, “LeBuckeye” 3 syllables that hit harder than a Buckeye blitz. LeBron and Ohio State are like peanut butter and jelly—meant to be. Akron’s finest and Ohio State connection literally runs deeper than stats—he’s basically their unofficial hype man. If this national championship were a movie, “LeBuckeye” would be the title.

Another IG user, “Bucks by a billion.” Confidence? LeCheck. This fan wasn’t just predicting a win—they were forecasting total domination. Marcus Freeman’s defense needs to be extra tight now against the No.1 total offense in the nation. With LeBron narrating, why settle for a close game when you can aim for a billion-point blowout?

Last user said, “LeDocumentary.” This one’s for the creative fans. With the way this hype video is making waves, it wouldn’t be surprising if LeBron and Ohio State teamed up for an ESPN 30-for-30 after the natty.

LeBron James doesn’t just hype things—he makes them legendary. From the moment his voice hit that trailer, it was a wrap. The Buckeyes took Michigan’s L and flipped it into a masterpiece, using King James to narrate their way to the natty. And the Buckeye faithful are already dreaming of raising their 9th natty while LeBron watches from courtside. One thing’s for sure: this chapter of Champions is about to be a bestseller.
