‘God Of War’ is one of the most popular games in the world, hands down. People absolutely love the main playable character Kratos and his demeanor. So, for Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James to turn into the character Kratos resulted in fans getting a certain kick out of it. The game is loosely based on Greek and Norse mythology and Kratos is the main protagonist of the game. 

LeBron James recently uploaded a video of himself dressed as Kratos on his Instagram, with the face paint and the fur coat. He was also holding an axe to go along with it. ‘The King’ was sitting with his son Bronny James in the video. LeBron started off by drawing comparisons between fatherhood and basketball.

LeBron James and Bronny like Kratos and Atreus

He mentioned how you need to keep adding tricks to your bag in order to stay effective. LeBron said, “You gotta keep adding to the bag if you’re going to stay effective. Crossover, your jab steps, ‘Blades of Chaos.’ Parenthood isn’t just a half-court game. No, it’s full-court pressure.”

And as much hype James had just created for himself through that monologue, Bronny dropped him with one reply. Bronny snapped back saying, “I think this metaphor is as weak as your crossover.” And the two just went on with friendly father-son banter from there on.

Fans could not help but get amused by this video. Many ended up commenting on the post. Even former NBA player Gilbert Arenas dropped his views. 

Arenas said, “the funnest video will forever be #bronny i’m hitting Diamond 1 on sage tonight #Kingvoice what that mean? #Bronnyvoice  if u KNOW u KNOW #kingvoice huh what that mean ?? the face of concern was priceless…no nba opponent had King nervous like bronny did with that quick troll.”
