LeBron James made a special appearance at Mercedes-Benz Stadium to support his alma mater, Ohio State Buckeyes, in the College Football Playoff championship game against Notre Dame. The NBA superstar was captured on ESPN cameras in a suite before kickoff, showcasing his Buckeyes pride by removing his red Ohio State hat and pumping his fist to the cheering crowd.
Known for his strong ties to Ohio, James, a native of Akron, started his professional basketball career with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Joining him in the stands was Philadelphia Phillies' Bryce Harper, accompanied by his wife, Kayla, who is an Ohio State alumna.
