LeBron James’ being a fan of Liverpool is not a secret anymore. However, fans are not so convinced about that. In fact, they could not help but roast him after the LA Lakers superstar appeared for a short virtual interview with former Liverpool star Peter Crouch in October 2022. The former football star asked James about owning a 2% stake in Liverpool. While the interaction was pleasant, it was LeBron’s answer that cracked up the fans.

Notably, LeBron James owns a minor stake in Liverpool that he bought for $6.5 million. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar bought the shares along with his business partner Maverick Carter back in 2011. In the last month, a video of LeBron’s interview with Liverpool legend Peter Crouch resurfaced on Twitter.

The 51 secs video showed King James in a virtual conference with Crouch and his co-host. When Crouch asked LeBron how he came on to own a minority stake in Liverpool FC, the NBA champ did not have much to say.

“I read about the franchise and how amazing it is. Uhm…you know and I actually made a trip, you know, to Liverpool as well, and see all the sights and the arena and everything and I was sole. It was pretty unique,” replied LeBron.
