Follow Us
The New Orleans Pelicans‘ forward Larry Nance Jr. never wavered from his love for soccer, a love he developed as a young boy growing up in Ohio. Son of legendary NBA star Larry Nance, Larry announced last summer that he had bought a stake in England’s well-known soccer club Leeds United. Being a part owner of the club, he was most excited when news recently broke that prominent French soccer player Kylian Mbappe of Paris Saint Germain (PSG) had decided to leave the French soccer club after the current season.
In his mind, this boosted Mbappe’s chances of playing for Leeds by a huge margin. Jumping at the occasion, the NBA veteran even joked about it on a recent X post.
