For 22 years, LeBron James has been breaking down his rivals on the basketball court. However, in what was described as a “legendary” partnership, he took his talents to the football field in January. The 20-time All-Star joined DraftKings to provide fans with his perspective on NFL games and player props. And the billionaire managed to be a perfectionist when making his Week 16 picks!

Filled with great matchups, the Akron Hammer diligently did his homework and gave his fans a chance to make some profit off the NFL season. He picked Vikings’ sizzling receiver Justin Jefferson, Buffalo Bills’ James Cook, and Panthers’ Chuba Hubbard to cross the endzone. Believe it or not, that’s exactly how things went.

With a clean sweep, LeBron James had every right to brag about his predictions. He took to his Instagram stories to share the news with three emoticons- the shoulder shrug, smiley face, and football for his 159 million followers!

This wasn’t the first time James had struck gold. Two months ago, he made a similar prediction, this time a +412 parlay for player touchdowns that also hit. Justin Jefferson was a common name in both those instances. Bron’s craze behind football has been there since childhood. An Ohio native, he supports the Browns with all his heart. The 4-time MVP even had a multi-screen to watch all of the games simultaneously, terming himself a “junkie”. The King also keenly attends NFL games when he gets time on his schedule.

Safe to say as intelligent as James is on the court, the football field is also well within his grasp.

James’ love for football doesn’t stem from simply watching the sport. In high school, while shining as a basketball prodigy, he also shuffled it with playing football. Playing as a wide receiver, his explosiveness led to atomic production and a place as the top football prospect in the state of Ohio at the time.

In terms of his passion, LeBron James claims football could’ve been a route he took. However, not only did his mother not appreciate the physical demands of the sport, but his friends too played a hand. “They said if I tried to step on a football field my senior year they would jump (kick my a–) me every day of practice until I had enough! Think I made a smart decision!” he said about it.

But that didn’t mean he needed to fully disconnect from the game. Aside from a flag football game against Kevin Durant in 2017, LeBron James also spends time playing a lot of Madden. His desire came from losing in the bubble when playing against his fellow Lakers teammates. Since the obsession set in, the hoops billionaire has mastered the virtual football landscape.

The soon-to-be 40-year-old recently shared an incredible achievement. James ranks in the top 1000 players worldwide in the popular game, and when it comes to football, LeBron is just as locked in as he is when trying to win a game in his 22nd NBA season.
