LeBron James and his love for the beautiful game

Los Angeles Lakers v Charlotte Hornets

The beautiful game of football has a special place in LeBron James' heart. LeBron is also a part-time owner of Liverpool since 2011. He celebrated Liverpool's Champions League triumph in 2019 and the 2020 English Premier League.

Back in March 2020, when the NBA was shut down by the coronavirus pandemic, LeBron went live on Instagram and answered impromptu questions. One fan asked him who his favorite football players were.

While answering, James showed his love for Liverpool, while naming Kylian Mbappe, Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo as his favorites.

"I got a few great soccer players. First off every player on Liverpool. Straight up every player on Liverpool. Mbappe, Neymar, Cristiano Ronaldo. Those guys are legends. I love those guys. I love Cristiano Ronaldo. Love Mbappe. Love Neymar. Those are just a few of them," James said.

LeBron James then proceeded to ask his wife, Savannah, off camera who her favorite players are. Savannah ended up saying Lionel Messi and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. James smiled when Zlatan's name was mentioned and had a few things to say about the enigmatic football star.

"Messi. Yeah, for sure. Lionel Messi, legend. Zlatan? He's crazy ass. He's crazy," James said.

Football and basketball are both global sports. LeBron attracts a lot of past and present footballers during the season. Some of the players who have watched "The King" live include David Beckham, Ronaldinho, Neymar Jr., Thierry Henry, Didier Drogba and Patrice Evra.
