"AJ Brown wants to be LeBron James so bad": Fans draw Lakers star comparisons after Eagles’ WR reads book during playoff win

NBA fans drew comparisons between LeBron James and AJ Brown after the Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver was seen reading a book while sitting on the bench during the Eagles vs Packers showdown on Sunday. A fan posted a video of the wide receiver during his act on X, which quickly attracted a flood of comments from fans who shared their opinions on Brown and compared him to the LA Lakers superstar.

One fan claimed that Brown wanted to be like LeBron James because of his actions.

"AJ Brown wants to be LeBron James so bad."

Other fans joined the bandwagon and made similar comparisons in their posts and comments.

"AJ brown read more in a playoff game than LeBron has in his entire life," one fan said.

"😂😂😂 AJ Brown wasnt reading....well....he was reading like Lebron was reading Malcolm X," another fan said.

"AJ Brown reading on the sidelines is giving big LeBron [not] reading the hunger games during the finals type energy," one fan said.

Another fan claimed that the Eagles wide receiver and the Lakers star were nothing alike.

"AJ BROWN & LEBRON ARE NOT THE SAME #FlyEaglesFly"

"AJ brown a part of the LeBron book club?😂😂," one fan said.

It seems like Brown had some time to finish some chapters on the bench as the Eagles went on to decimate the Packers with a final score of 22-10.

LeBron James is arguably the greatest player to still play in the NBA. He is known for his four championships and countless moments that have cemented him as one of the greatest ever to do it. James has never been the one to be openly known for his love of literature.

However, the Lakers star was once seen reading a book during a practice session in 2018. A video of Bron surfaced online when was playing for the Cleaveland Cavaliers. In the video, the Lakers star was seen reading a book while sitting in one of the arena's chairs during a shoot around.

The book he was reading was "The Alchemist" by Paolo Coelho. During a public question and answer session that the Lakers star conducted on his X handle, he declared that the same book was his favorite.

LeBron James is having a great run with the Lakers this season. The veteran is putting up amazing stats, which makes his age look just like a number. He is averaging 23.8 points, 7.7 rebounds and 8.8 assists per game.
