LeBron James is one of the most celebrated athletes in the world and his actions speak volumes. Over the years, the NBA star has been very outspoken about himself. He has a great personality that often shines through his interactions on social media, press conferences, and in front of the camera. People love who is he and respect him for what he has done for the sport of basketball.
The Los Angeles Lakers player has a deep love for American Football, a sport which he previously participated in as a high school student. He spent his sophomore year at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School playing for the football team. He displayed great success recording a couple of impressive plays. James was also recruited by Notre Dame as well as other Division I programs for football. If it weren’t for his love for basketball, LeBron would’ve most likely been in the NFL today.
These days, LeBron James spends a lot of time playing football on a video game console. His wife, Savannah has posted a few videos of him playing EA Sports’ Madden. James himself has often admitted that he is addicted to the video game. He also closely follows the NFL and visits games as much as he can.
However, the upcoming 2024 Super Bowl might be one of his favorite events of the sports calendar year. Not because of the teams that may qualify for the Championship game, but because of the halftime performance that is set to take place.

The former NBA League MVP has been a fan of Usher’s for several years. LeBron is a music enthusiast who loves flaunting his favorite hits on social media. He has attended a couple of Usher’s concerts in the past as well.
This also shows how incredibly well-connected celebrities of various fields are. The NFL’s Super Bowl LVIII will take place on February 11, 2024, at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Chances are that James might be present in the audience as the Lakers aren’t scheduled to play a game on that day.
