The loyal fans of the Minnesota Vikings have been listening and enjoying Paul Allen announcing games on the radio. However, the former NFL punter, who is now a host of his podcast show, heard Mr. Allen and his amazing storytelling prowess for the first time.
Pat McAfee took to Twitter to announce how pleasantly surprised he was when he heard the 56-year-old narrate the thrilling game between the Vikings and the Buffalo Bills.
WOW!!! Paul Allen is a National Treasure!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️ https://t.co/goOURvyHi4

The video is now a viral masterpiece to which the self-proclaimed king of the NBA reacted. But the NFL fans did not miss their chance to roast the four-time NBA MVP award winner.
Fans grilled LeBron James for his reaction to a legend
‘King’ James has earned the reputation of, let’s put it in mild words, being a liar. Fans have pointed out and called him out for his blatant lies. Who can forget when the three-time All-Star MVP winner said that he advised the hip-hop group to change their name from Amigos to Migos because it was too long? Therefore, whatever the NBA star says holds no weight for the fans.
This fan commented:

The picture is from a famous interview where LeBron James admitted to watching a legendary game where the NBA legend, Kobe Bryant, scored 81 points against the Toronto Raptors. James predicted Bryant will score over 80 points when he was watching the game with his friends.
Although he was quick to pay his respect to his great friend, it did not convince the fans that the event happened. And that he watched the whole game.
A fan sarcastically commented:
bet you always knew he was national treasure

This fan used the image from the interview where James allegedly lied.
“I actually remember watching a Vikings game back in 06’ with Paul Allen’s commentary. I told Savannah in middle of the first quarter that this is the best play by play guy I’ve ever heard” pic.twitter.com/361IWXFpC9

A real fan of Paul Allen described him like this:
I’ve listened to @PAOnTheMic for over 20 years. He makes the old school riding in a car listening to AM radio Vikes games feel like you’re in the stands. Pretty sweet he’s finally getting naty attention

He's been my favorite play by play voice on the radio for a while now, and I'm not even a Vikings fan. Glad he's getting the recognition he deserves. Also demonstrates why radio broadcasters are more skilled than TV.
