Published:
As anybody knows, Lebron James is a huge Ohio State fan. He is such a huge fan that he even should up to the Buckeyes’ first game of the year versus Notre Dame, which they won 21-10.
Naturally, Dawand Jones and Tanner McCalister were starstruck when they saw the Lakers superstar on the sidelines two weeks ago and who wouldn’t be?
King James even gave Jones a head nod approval from his idol ,which of course put the young player over the moon.
“LeBron is my favorite player of all time,” he said. “I didn’t need nothing else to get myself ready for the game.”

James is a huge football fan and played as a youth. He even considered joining the Dallas Cowboys, reportedly one of his favorite teams, during an NBA lockout a few years ago.
The NBA season doesn’t kick off for another couple of months, so the players may see him again before the season is over.
