LeBron James' Hilarious Fake Messages During NFL Draft Has Fans Going Crazy


LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers are gearing up for Game 3 against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday as their first-round series shifts to Target Center.

The Lakers and Timberwolves will break their 1-1 deadlock, with the former having the momentum after their impressive win in Game 2, 94-85.

With the Lakers expecting a hostile crowd in the next two games, they need to be more composed than ever.

So for James, what better way to relax and decompress before Game 3 than by watching a completely stress-free show: The 2025 NFL draft.

Or so it seemed.

"The Shop," the talk show co-produced by the Lakers forward, decided to have fun on Instagram and posted screenshots of messages from a fake group chat of James, Houston Texans star CJ Stroud, show creator Paul Rivera and James' business partner, Maverick Cart er, while they were tuned in to the draft.

"We need HELP! Hahahaha," said James in response to Stroud's question about who the Cleveland Browns should draft.

"Bron, good luck tomorrow them young boys in. Minnesota playing football! Have your chin strap tomorrow," added Carter.

"Already got my helmet, shoulder pads, chin strap and more. Ready for it!" replied the four-time NBA MVP.

Again, just to be clear: They're all fake.

Still, fans were amused by the post.

"Is that not their number on the side yo 😂," said a fan.

"Is that really Bron's number? 😂😂" asked another fan.

"Phoning LeBron rn," added a follower.

"Thanks for the LeNumber, gonna blow up my glorious king's line 😍😍," wrote a commenter.

"'Have your chin strap tomorrow' 😂😂😂😂😂😂," said a fan.

It's no secret that the 40-year-old James is a huge follower of the NFL, stating that he's a fan of the Browns, his home team growing up, and the Dallas Cowboys. Being in the City of Angels, he's also cheered for the Los Angeles Rams.

"The Shop" won a Sports Emmy for Outstanding Edited Sports Series in 2021.

It's not fake.

NBA Rumors: LeBron James' Son Bronny Is on Draft Boards of 'Multiple Teams'

Chris Coduto/Getty Images Bronny James' USC team has struggled this season, but that reportedly hasn't stopped the NBA interest in the son of legend LeBron James. "When I talk to people around the league, he's on the draft boards of multiple teams," Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium reported Thursday: Charania noted teams around the league believe he is "further along" on the defensive side of the ball than the offensive side, which makes performances like Wednesday's all the more important. The USC freshman finished with 11 points, six assists and five rebounds while shooting 5-of-11 from the field in one of his best offensive showings of the season in a loss to Arizona. The only game that he scored more points in was a Dec. 30 loss to Oregon State when he finished with 15 on 6-of-11 shooting from the field. Perhaps most importantly, James played a season-high 30 minutes against the Wildcats on Wedn...

"So You Think You Can Dance" season 18 ended the first stage of the competition on Monday night, March 18, with the last dance hopefuls looking for a spot in the choreography round. So far the bar has been set pretty high by standout performances from dancers representing a variety of dance styles, shapes, sizes and ability levels. So who stood out among the last crop of contestants? Did the show save the best for last? "We've put 25 people through," said judge Allison Holker at the start of the show. She singled out contemporary dancer Braylon Browner and gymnast Dakayla Wilson as standouts from the first two days of auditions. Comfort Fedoke agreed that Wilson is capable of anything a professional choreographer could throw at her. Maksim Chmerkovskiy was especially impressed by contemporary dancer Easton Magliarditi . But "there's so many other things outside of dance that we're also looking at." More from GoldDerby SEE ...
