UNINTERRUPTED hosts a weekly session with LeBron James Thursday night football with King James. The rapid fire started with the question what position James would prefer if he played in the NFL.

He replied, “I would probably play tight end or wide receiver.” Then came the next question asking for the best celebration in the NFL. He took his time and replied “Probably Justin Jefferson.”

LeBron James picks Derrick Henry

For the final rapid-fire question, the interviewer asked which NFL star would LeBron James swap his jersey. James said, “Because of we have the same nickname, King Henry[Derrick Henry], King James.”

The Los Angeles Lakers superstar believes “it makes sense.” Derrick Henry looked happy with this response and commented on the post. The former Heisman Trophy winner is considered one of the best running backs in the league. And he has been having a great season so far and is in the MVP conversation. He had a historic performance in the Tennessee Titans‘ win against the Green Bay Packers that emulated NFL legend Walter Payton’s performance in 1983.
