Apparently, Joe Burrow is a LeBron Fan

This week, a picture went viral of a 17-year-old Joe Burrow wearing LeBron’s Cleveland Cavaliers jersey. Joe is a massive LeBron James fan, as appeared by the selfie he took.

Joe Burrow is a major LSU star, but he played for Ohio State for two years before transferring to LSU. This picture dates back to when Joe played for Ohio State and when Lebron played for the Cavs. The post went viral, and Bron would have surely come across the post as well.

Henceforth, in the wake of his fellow Ohioan’s AFC Championship win, Lebron posted a message in awe of his success.
