NBA superstar LeBron James recently surprised fans by naming his favorite NFL player during a discussion on his Super Bowl predictions. The Los Angeles Lakers icon, renowned for his basketball prowess, shared that he’s rooting for the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens this season.
James’ admiration for the Ravens is largely due to his respect for Derrick Henry, the NFL’s premier running back. This season, Henry is making his debut with Baltimore after an impressive eight-season tenure with the Tennessee Titans, where he solidified his reputation as one of the league’s elite players.
During his time with the Titans, Henry accumulated an impressive 2,030 rushing attempts for 9,502 yards and 90 touchdowns, averaging 4.7 yards per carry. As he approaches the 10,000-yard mark—an achievement only 31 players in NFL history have reached—Henry is solidifying his place among the all-time greats. Despite turning 30, which is considered a challenging age for running backs with heavy workloads, Henry remains a force on the field. Even if he’s not at his peak, LeBron believes Henry’s presence will still make him a highly effective player in the Ravens’ offense.
LeBron’s praise for Henry, coupled with his Super Bowl predictions, shows that his love for football is just as strong as his passion for basketball, and fans are excited to see if his picks pan out this season.
