Apart from the hoops and the scoreboard, the attention of the fans always makes way to court-side chats. The NBA superstar LeBron James found himself in a social media whirlwind. During a Lakers game, he chatted with personalities Jeanie Buss and Linda Rambis. After greeting Buss and Rambis and sitting between them, the basketball legend wished them on Women’s Day. This opportunity was then picked up by the former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown, who revealed his take on the sideline conversation. 

Now, Cam Newton steps in to decode the conversation that might have transpired between James and his wife, Savannah, after this. In the latest episode of the YouTube show, 4th & 1 With Cam Newton, the former wide receiver, as always, revealed his jocular side. With his characteristic dramatic flair, he attempted to decode the conversation between the James couple, “Savannah James embodies that, ‘I oh my God’ it’s that she got that resting like ‘you did what.’ She going to tilt her chin east and west.”
