Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James made the NBA his kingdom but his interest in sports extends well beyond the hardwood.
The four-time NBA champion can often be found tweeting about major athletic events from baseball to football, to college sports, or tennis. Just recently, James made a joke over the video of NFL legend Tom Brady walking drunkenly after celebrating his seventh Super Bowl victory in his debut season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
James likes to interact with sports stars on social media or pay his honors to prominent athletes both online and in the real world. In the 115-105 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday, James wore his LeBron 15 shoes modeled after the Nike’s Air Griffey Max 1 line for Seattle Mariners legend Ken Griffey Jr.
