Bron, known for his unique, competitive and goofy personality that transcends basketball, has on multiple occasions shown his love for video games throughout his career. There is no doubt that one of his favorite video games is Madden, a game based on the NFL.
Apart from Madden, the player has also expressed his affection for the timeless Nintendo classic, Goldeneye 007. Around two decades back the player was pictured with copies of world-famous game, GTA Vice City, and one of the most popular gaming consoles ever, the PlayStation 2.
Bron recently wrote on X, “Thinking of live streaming my @EAMadden games when I play.. Who should I stream with? Meaning which platform brand”.
When LeBron expressed his interest to stream his time on Madden, many were quick to react asking for a unique opportunity to engage with the renowned player. Among the lot was Micah Parsons, linebacker for the Dallas Cowboys who wanted to take on the NBA superstar in a Madden showdown.
In his tweet, the linebacker urged Bron to play a game with a challenge which involved Bron giving one of his jerseys to the NFL player as a forfeit.
“Play me bron!! I win I want a jersey!!”, said Parsons in a reply to King James’ tweet.
While the King asked his audience whether he should stream the game and asked who the fans would like to see him stream with, LeBron also set off a streaming war when he asked which platform he should stream on.
