"First CC now Bron?" - Basketball fans hyped as LeBron James, Caitlin Clark make consecutive appearances on $34,250,000 NFL star's podcast

LeBron James and Caitlin Clark are two of the biggest US sports stars. Both are basketball players, but their popularity has transcended the sport. They are dream guests any show would love to have.

The New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce podcast opened 2025 with a bang by having a chat with Clark. Time Magazine’s Athlete of the Year winner did not disappoint in that episode.

On Wednesday, the Kelce brothers hyped up their next guest. After Clark, they will bring in James, the four-time NBA MVP.

Fans reacted to the news online:

“First CC, now Bron? The 2 greatest episodes in the history of this podcast”

One fan said:

“So Trav talks to a 4x Champion on his route to becoming a 4x Champion. I like it!!”

Another added:

“This needs to be three hours long to make room for all the Ohio sports scene talk.”

@Hoody_Harrelson commented:

“I think New Heights is already up there with Rogan and Conan O Brien for who gets the biggest podcast guests. If they ever get Taylor…the internet will explode.”

@tigerfan728 exclaimed:

“Awwwwwwww hellllllllllll yeeesssssss”

Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce, who signed a two-year $34.2 million extension with the Kansas City Chiefs last year, are huge LeBron James fans. The brothers are from Ohio and sometimes watched King James play while he was still with the Cleveland Cavaliers. James once praised their podcast and hoped to appear as a guest.

Travis Kelce could become a four-time champ like LeBron James

Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs earned a first-round bye in the NFL wild-card week after earning the AFC top seed. The Patrick Mahomes-led two-time defending champs will see action in the divisional round. Kansas will host the Houston Texans, who beat the LA Chargers 32-12 last week.

Kelce, a three-time Super Bowl winner, could add another Vince Lombardi Trophy to his collection. If the Chiefs keep rolling and win Super Bowl LIX, the superstar tight end matches LeBron James' haul of four championships.

The timing of the New Heights podcast with the LA Lakers superstar as a guest couldn't be more relevant. Kelce could become a four-time champ the next time he sees James.
