LeBron Went On The Pat McAfee Show

…Yes, you read that right. Shaquille O’Neal slapped Kobe Bean Bryant. And you can hear all about it on The Grudge, a new show on Vice Sports that provides deep dives into infamous rivalries. The first episode covered some of Shaq and Kobe’s most tumultuous moments.

The Golden State Valkyries are the first WNBA team to sell 10,000 season tickets, proving the team a very worthy and deserved addition to the league. They should get an NBA team there next. Oh wait.

Speaking of that NBA team, Steph Curry and Michelle Obama are joining forces to make another sports drink. This drink has no added sugar and a full day’s helping of vitamin C. With a flu season like this year’s, we’ll take 1000. 

Cristiano Ronaldo lovers and haters unite. If you’ve ever wanted to beat up Ronaldo or beat someone else up as Ronaldo, you’re in luck because you can now play as him in Fatal Fury: City of Wolves. 

BOS Nation FC is out Boston Legacy FC is in. The NWSL expansion team has officially unveiled their new team name after fans seemed dissatisfied with the first iteration (possibly in large part because of the “Too Many Balls” campaign that accompanied it). 

It’s been days since fitness influencer Ashton Hall went viral for dunking his head in ice-cold Saratoga water and rubbing bananas on his face. The internet went nuts. 

Worry not, because we found the funny parodies and bits, so you don’t have to sift through the madness. 

Shout out to the Indiana Fever Admin for showing us Caitlin Clark’s daily routine. The expert-level fruit naming at 11:00 am is what separates her from the rest.

The Suns poked fun of the screengrab where Hall is diving into the pool at 7:36 am with one of the best photos in NBA history. This one, where KD looks like he’s having a very moderate and responsible amount of fun while slowly going down a waterslide with his arms sort of enthusiastically raised. 

The Buffalo Bills had their fun with the bizarre 7:36 am and 7:40 am timestamps that feature Ashton Hall diving in the air for four whole minutes; only theirs was Josh Allen diving into the Pylon. 

The Las Vegas Raiders admin misunderstood the assignment, it seems, because they’re eating their bananas and water for lunch. 

And perhaps our favorite, because of the ridiculous squeak sound effects (why does a panther sound like that?), Sir Purr remade the video in its entirety. 

There you have it! Now that we’ve given our input, everyone can officially wrap up this trend.

If you’re searching for a Cinderella, this is the one. Now, not only is there a legendary coach at the helm, but these kids have personality. 

The tournament’s lowest-seeded team (a No. 10 seed at that) is still dancing. No, literally, this team never stops dancing. Even in post-game interviews. 

John Calipari has mentioned the immense pressure these kids are playing under (he says they’re playing with a piano on their back). And after starting 0-5 in conference play no one saw a tournament bid even happening. Now, this Razorbacks team busted most of our brackets when they upset Pitino’s St. John’s, and they’re not showing signs of letting up. 

Plus, they’ve got Hollywood-level one liners: “If you don’t got a girl to give you a kiss, just give the rim a kiss, bro” and “they put us in a coffin, they just didn’t put the nails in yet,” are all-timers.

LeBron went on Pat McAfee’s show to have a very important LeBronversation, and it was a LeBlast. They covered it all. If you don’t have time to watch it yourself, you’ve come to the right place. We got you.

It really seems like no topic was off limits. McAfee asked about the feud with Stephen A. Smith (LeBron painted an interesting picture of Stephen A. in his tighty whities eating ice cream at home), Bronny suffering from cardiac arrest, LeBron’s relationship with Michael Jordan (apparently there really isn’t one, but that’s okay because he says there will be), Pat Riley’s general vibe, and the topics that had LeBron most animated of all: chocolate chip cookies and Taco Tuesday.

He dispelled some rumors on the show, too. That whole thing about how he spends $1 million a year on his body? He has no idea where that came from. Him signing with Nike because of Michael Jordan? Not true. He says he signed with Nike because they gave him an insane amount of money. When asked if he actually reads those books he’s photographed with or if he stops at the first page, he grabs one of Pat’s books, turns to the first page, and asks the crew to take a pic. 

He said the thing about JJ Redick is that he’s a d*ck head (positive), and the thing about basketball in the ‘70s is that Giannis would have scored 250 points, and Kyrie would have been banned from dribbling. Also, he says the F word.

McAfee even asked him about the creepy eye glitch conspiracy during the Olympics, and he said it was his Michael Jackson “Thriller” moment.

Overall, the interview was a great watch, and the LeBanter was perfect. It gave us new LeBronsights on who he is as a person. We really have a better LeBronderstanding of what makes him tick. As is true on the court, when we get to watch LeBron have fun, we all have fun.
