LeBron also replied to Julian inviting him in with his hands wide open.

The wide receiver made his debut for New England Patriots in 2009 as a 23 year old. At 34 years of age he played his last game in 2020. He spent 11 years in the same franchise winning 3 super bowls and truly becoming a legend for the Patriots.

Edelman running point for a basketball team would be pretty interesting. He does have a knack for coming up clutch in high-pressure moments. It would have been an amazing partnership even if in a movie or in a hypothetical sense to see two of the greats of two different sports partner up together. Who knows, maybe a movie with something like that combination may be a possibility in the future. Space Jam: A New Legacy could not do that well at the box office. However, fans had their fun.
