Travis Kelce is in the sports spotlight thanks to his new relationship with Taylor Swift, and it seems to make LeBron James a little jealous. The 38-year-old grown man wants to have some fun so much that he publicly requested to be a guest on the Kelce brothers’ podcast “New Heights.”
On Wednesday, the same day the podcast’s latest episode aired, James jumped on X and tagged the show’s account, saying how “crazy” it was that he couldn’t get an invite to the show.
By James’ logic, since he’s from Northeast Ohio, like Travis and Jason Kelce, he should be allowed to play on the show.
@newheightshow It’s crazy that I can’t get an invite to your amazing show! Is it because you are truly the king of Northeast Ohio and I claim to be? to be honest! 🥴😁😁😁. Seriously, you guys are awesome!

This is incredibly strange behavior for a nearly 40-year-old billionaire. This is what you see random people doing on social media in search of their “big break.”
If we’re honest with ourselves, this tweet alone should have ended the Michael Jordan vs. Jordan rivalry. LeBron Debates. MJ would never post, say or even think such a thing.
It didn’t take long for a large number of netizens on X to attack James for his strange posts.
LeBron is the corniest guy in sports https://t.co/VZwFKtCqPW

Nothing is sadder in 2023 than being a guest on a podcast https://t.co/o8r2qc1u5g

Despite how cringe-worthy James’ tweet was, it’s likely that it will lead to him joining an episode of the show, which would bring in catastrophically high numbers.
The Kelce brothers completely ignoring James would be the most interesting outcome.
