NBA iconic LeBron James just became Christian McCaffrey’s biggest fan. After McCaffrey’s magical performance against the Cardinals last Sunday, LeBron couldn’t help but shower him with praise via X (formerly Twitter). It seems like even NFL stars have their own star-struck moments.
The San Francisco 49ers continue to dominate the 2023 season, securing their fourth consecutive victory. Running back started within the first half, and LeBron James was watching. McCaffrey, a self-proclaimed LeBron enthusiast, was pleasantly surprised to learn that King James follows Niners football.

For the sake of records – McCaffrey made history at Levi’s Stadium by breaking a franchise record set by Jerry Rice himself back in 1987. With 13 consecutive games with a touchdown, McCaffrey now holds the crown. The crowd’s chants of “MVP! MVP! MVP!” were well-deserved as McCaffrey delivered four touchdowns in total, including an impressive receiving touchdown and seven receiving for 71 yards. LeBron James couldn’t contain his excitement, tweeting, “CMC you’re ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!!!! My GOODNESS.”

Post-game, Christian McCaffrey shared his thoughts with the media, “I’m a big LeBron James fan. That was really cool. I didn’t know he watches Niners football, but we’ve got to get him to a game.” The enthusiasm is palpable. However, there was one regrettable moment – a missed throw by QB Brock Purdy intended for McCaffrey on a crucial third down in the third quarter.
With four consecutive wins, the 49ers are now eyeing their old record of 15 wins. To achieve that, they must conquer the Dallas Cowboys next Sunday night at Levi’s Stadium.

The game is set to captivate a national audience, airing at 8:20 PM ET/5:20 PM PT on NBC. Given the history between the 49ers and the Cowboys in recent playoffs, this showdown promises intense action. The Cowboys, who stumbled against the Cardinals but rebounded impressively against the Patriots, are eager to avoid another upset, especially against the formidable 49ers.
ESPN reports that after last year’s loss to the Niners, the Cowboys are determined to turn the tables. They’ve brought in new talents like Stephon Gilmore and Brandin Cooks and drafted Mazi Smith to bolster their defense against the Niners and Eagles’ rushing attack. In their January clash, the Niners emerged victorious with a 19-12 win, marked by a relentless ground game and two crucial interceptions by Dak Prescott.
