LeBron James, the star forward for the LA Lakers and native of Cleveland, showed his support for the Cleveland Browns during their away game against the LA Rams on Sunday. He was joined in the stands by Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who James surpassed last season to become the NBA’s all-time leading scorer. With 39,140 career points and counting in his 21st season, James and Abdul-Jabbar’s combined points total is now 77,527 as of Sunday.
The Rams were quick to acknowledge the impressive offensive talent that was present at their game. They tweeted about the “whole lotta buckets” in the building and tagged stars like James and Abdul-Jabbar. James agreed with the sentiment and retweeted the post, adding that there were indeed a lot of buckets to be had.
On Saturday, LeBron James expressed his excitement for watching his Cleveland Browns play on Sunday, even more so than the Lakers’ upcoming game against the Phoenix Suns. Despite the Browns losing 36-19, James still seemed to enjoy his day off. On Sunday, James also congratulated Rams rookie wide receiver Puka Nacua on breaking the team’s rookie record for receiving yards, whom he had previously compared to Luka Doncic earlier in the NFL season. James has been an avid football fan and has attended many Rams games during his time with the Lakers, indicating that the mutual support between him and Nacua may continue.
