The August 29 Big Bash is here! It’s unofficially a day of partying for CFB fans. And guess what? Their excitement just doubled. While fans hooked up to the live streaming, a few scouted through their social media for some nuggets. And they did not get disappointed at all. After all, the KING was there to hype up his favorite team, the Colorado Buffaloes. NBA superstar LeBron James performed this duty of boosting the Buffs without fail.

And what caught the legend’s attention? It’s the sweet chemistry Buffs dual-threat Travis Hunter and QB shared in the opening game. This was enough for the fans to go gaga.

LeBron James boards the Buffs’ hype train

So what that James is the NBA hotshot? It did not stop him from indulging in football. He is one of the biggest college football fans, and the Colorado Buffaloes reigns in the charts as one of his top favorites—all thanks to his years-long bond with the Buff’s head coach, Deion Sanders. However, on August 29, he became the biggest hype man for the dynamic duo, Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter, “Shedeur to Hunter for 6! Going to be seeing and hearing that a lot this season i bet!”

Why wouldn’t he? The energy on the Folsom Field was electric enough to keep the future NBA Hall of Famer at the edge of his seat. As James tuned in to the Buffs vs. Bisons face-off, he was impressed by the opening score. However, this wouldn’t have been possible without the players’ sincere efforts. As spotted on the live stream, while Shedeur held the pigskin, Hunter, with immense agility, caught the pass from the QB and then raced into the end zone for a score. James poured in to acknowledge the efforts, making the score extra special.

And there was no scope for doubting what King tweeted, as the Hunter-Shedeur chemistry could be noticed all throughout the game: “they have crazy chemistry. hunter is insane at WR too, a true unicorn in football.”
