Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is undoubtedly one of the greatest players in NBA history. Where exactly he belongs on that all-time ranking is up for debate, but his accomplishments speak for themselves.
But he is about much more than simply basketball, as he has built a business empire and championed social causes while aiming to help the disadvantaged.
Buy Lakers TicketsJames was also a standout football player while at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in his native Akron, Ohio. He played the wide receiver position and even received some recruiting offers from prominent college football programs.
While he opted for roundball over the gridiron (many feel he could’ve been a star player in the NFL), he still loves football and will sometimes give his opinion on what’s happening in the sport on social media.
The future Hall of Famer expressed a desire to give his picks of the week in the NFL on Sunday morning before games kickoff across the league (h/t The Cold Wire).
Y'all know I love football. With that said I'm thinking about doing my picks of the week(NFL games) tomorrow on IG live before they start. I did pick Detroit over GB TNF. Anyways we'll see 🤔🤷🏾♂️

James is as an ardent fan of the Cleveland Browns, who are 2-1 despite the catastrophic injury to star running back Nick Chubb. They will take on Lamar Jackson’s Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, and it will be interesting to see who James picks in that contest, especially since Cleveland is first in points and total yards allowed.
