On the flip side, LeBron does enjoy sports from a fan’s perspective as well. He does pay visits to high-school basketball games, especially to support his son, and is also a part-owner of Liverpool F.C. Added to this, he does follow the NFL as well. With the qualification of the LA Rams to the Super Bowl this year, LeBron went to Twitter to congratulate them on their success.

Clearly, fans had hilarious reactions to the ‘King.’ They questioned his loyalty to a particular team, called him a bandwagoner, and even asked why he showed support for the Rams despite not being from LA. Maybe LeBron is a Rams fan, or maybe he just showed support for being a sportsperson who is playing for an LA franchise as well.
