For those who don’t know, LeBron James has other talents than those he uses in basketball. As such, a US football superstar has just launched a challenge very far from the courts, to which the King reacted virally.
Today, everyone is aware of his undeniable basketball talent. After 21 seasons in the NBA, LeBron James proved that he was one of the greatest players in the history of his sport, and even one of the most dominant athletes all-time, in all disciplines. However, he could have taken other paths in his youth and would undoubtedly also have met with great success.
A big fan of American football, the King had many of the qualities required for a career in the NFL. Failing to have accomplished this destiny, he positions himself as an expert… in the video game Madden, as recently revealed by Anthony Davis. Comments that did not go unnoticed by star quarterback Cam Newton, who recently provoked the leader of the Lakers in the podcast 4th and 1.
LeBron James responds to Cam Newton’s challenge on Madden
Cam Newton : LeBron in the World Top 1000 Madden Players? It’s a huge myth! Who are you playing against, Bron? Anthony Davis? It doesn’t come up to my ankle. There’s no point in LeBron facing me because I know he can’t beat me. He’s too good at basketball in real life to be good at Madden. I no longer have a job. I can’t lose to someone who has one.

Former NFL MVP, Newton experienced a meteoric decline in the years that followed and has remained without a team since 2021. As such, he openly declares that he can spend a lot of time on Madden and therefore display a level supposedly sufficient to defeat LeBron. It didn’t take much for the latter to take these words as a provocation and accept the duel launched by his counterpart:

LeBron James : Where I come from, after hearing this, we generally respond “Shall we bet?” » ! Let’s go !
LBJ will therefore not have to put on the cleats or put on a helmet, but only to take his controller to settle scores with the former Carolina Panthers. It remains to be seen whether he will honor his most prestigious reputation in the field.
Failing to tread the basketball courts these days, LeBron James must spend a lot of time on Madden. Enough to bring him closer to Cam Newton, against whom he will visibly have to prove his level on the American football simulation.
