LeBron James has been a big fan of football since he was a child in Akron, Ohio. James often watches NFL games, especially Sunday nights. ‘The King’ was in awe of Miami Dolphins superstar wide receiver Tyreek Hill as he caught a touchdown pass from Tua Tagovailoa.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the Los Angeles Lakers superstar couldn’t believe Hill’s touchdown late in the second quarter. James felt it was unfair for “The Cheetah” to outrun three Philadelphia Eagles defenders during the game.
“đNot a fair person!!!” James wrote.

With about 40 seconds left in the second quarter, the Eagles led 17-3. It was 3rd down and 8 when Tua Tagovailoa threw a pass to Tyreek Hill, who had to sprint and beat three defenders to catch the ball. Entering the second half, the touchdown and the extra point reduced Philadelphia’s lead to just seven points.
Here’s the play that caught LeBron James’ attention:
Tyreek Hill is one of the best wide receivers in the NFL this season. Hill leads the Dolphins’ offense to a 5-1 record heading into Sunday’s game. He has racked up 814 receiving yards through the first six games of the year, the most of any player in the Super Bowl era.
The 29-year-old WR is currently averaging 135.7 yards per game and leading the league with 6 touchdown catches. He also leads the NFL in yards per catch with 19.4. The winner between the Dolphins and Eagles will be tied with the Kansas City Chiefs for the best record in the league after Week 6.

What is LeBron James’ favorite NFL team?
Some experts believe LeBron James would have made it to the NFL if he had chosen football instead of basketball. James loved the sport as a child and continues to watch games during the NBA season. But which team does The King currently support?
James is widely believed to have been a huge Dallas Cowboys fan growing up. He even received a tryout invitation from the Cowboys during the 2011 lockout, but he is no longer a supporter of the team. Last year, he took to Instagram Live to explain why he now follows the Cleveland Browns.
“I had to calm down against the Cowboys,” James said. “A lot of what happened when people took a knee, people had free speech and wanted to do it in a very peaceful way. A lot of people on their front desk said, ‘If you do this here, then you Will never play for this team again.”
“I just don’t think it’s appropriate. I still like a lot of the players on the team. I’m all for the Browns.”
