Ohio State throttled Michigan to close the 2018 regular season Saturday 62-39.
The 23-point victory got people’s attention, which is exactly what the Buckeyes needed. In order for No. 10 Ohio State to move into the top 4 — and the College Football Playoff — a dismantling of the No. 4 team in the country was an impressive performance.
After the game — and even before it ended — the trash talking took place. And, not just between football players. Basketball players, too.
In particular, LeBron James. As we know, James didn’t play collegiate basketball at all, let alone at Ohio State. But, growing up in Ohio, James has always had a love for Ohio State football.
One of his teammates on the Los Angeles Lakers, Moritz Wagner, was drafted by the Lakers in this past year’s draft and he played for the Michigan team that made it all the way to the national championship game a season ago.
James, of course, had to talk a little trash:
So❌ebody please go check on ❌y tea❌❌ate @moritz_weasley!!! I don’t believe he’s doing so well right now. So❌eone please call 911 🏥🚑

Wagner’s probably not at 100 percent at the moment, but, time heals all wounds.
