Back in high school, LeBron James had a choice to make. A trained wide receiver in football and an equally skilled forward in basketball. But for him, the decision was easy: Follow Michael Jordan. However, that football fever never left him. And now, the same fever has the Akron Hammer in a chokehold of excitement. His favorites, the Ohio State, are back in action against Texas with Arch Manning’s debut road start.
James has always had his heart tied to THE Ohio State. The 40-year-old Los Angeles Lakers legend grew up in Akron, Ohio, and while the 4x NBA champion and most valuable player never went to school there, the Buckeyes became his lifelong team. That devotion turned into a flashy gesture for the reigning national champions.
Now Saturday began with a bang for the Los Angeles Lakers superstar, who sat comfortably before his television. Tuned into the Texas vs Ohio State game and shot an Instagram Boomerang. Yes, the King has taken his eyes off basketball for the day!
