The NBA stars get a rare break amid the heavily packed game schedule. The NBA world takes a breather on the national holiday to celebrate Thanksgiving. However, the Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James never seems to be off duty. The 38-year-old baller abandoned the festivities with his family and engaged in an intense gaming session, leaving his friend and former NFL star crying for help. 

In the last 20 years, the NBA world has witnessed many faces of the superstar. The avatar of a dominant baller, an entrepreneur, a philanthropist, and many more. Among them, one of the most exciting avatars is that of a sports fan. James has always been unapologetic when it comes to celebrating his favorite sports teams. Moreover, his love for football is unparalleled and his tweets are proof.

LeBron James takes over gaming realm

Several times in the past, LeBron James has expressed his love for the NFL and its video game, Madden. In the past, he has tweeted several times about the game. Importantly, during 2023 New Year’s Eve, a video of the star went viral where he explained why he chose to play Madden instead of celebrating the evening with his wife, Savannah James.

Similarly, on the rare NBA off day on the eve of Thanksgiving, James took charge of the gaming device and went by his business. Moreover, he didn’t just play the game but also dominated his opponent just like he had been doing on the hardwood.
