In recent years, LeBron James has spent his Sundays in the fall tweeting about his beloved Cleveland Browns. While James is a pretty well-documented fan of the Dallas Cowboys, his love of his hometown squad has become more evident in recent years, and now, you can expect that when the Browns do something cool, the most prominent athlete in America will post about it on social media.
All of that is to say that the Browns did something really cool on Tuesday night, going out and acquiring superstar wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. from the New York Giants for two draft picks and safety Jabrill Peppers. In the aftermath of the move, James hopped onto Instagram and expressed his excitement about what went down.
Beckham made his way into the comments, too, letting James know that he’ll take care of business in Cleveland while the Lakers star is out on the west coast.
There is something extremely funny in a good and wholesome way about LeBron James — an athlete, a budding Hollywood power player, a philanthropist, and about a billion other things — pausing all of that for a moment because his beloved NFL team has his undivided attention. The silliness is amplified by the fact that the team is the Browns, the league’s historic sad sack of a franchise that just so happens to have a gigantic fan in the best basketball player on earth.
Of course, there’s a chance that all changes now that Cleveland has Beckham in tow, which very well could lead to James tweeting about the Browns doing stuff on Sundays after the NFL’s regular season comes to an end.
