LeBron James gave Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase a generous gift

LeBron James isn’t just one of the greatest basketball players of all time — he’s also a big football fan, and he was a standout on the gridiron back in his high school days.

While he used to be a fan of the Dallas Cowboys, he recently made it clear he now cheers for the Cleveland Browns. That makes sense, given that he grew up in Akron, Ohio.

But James’ support of the Browns didn’t prevent him from showing some generosity to one of the team’s big AFC North rivals. He sent Cincinnati Bengals star wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase a pair of “Fruity Pebbles” Nike LeBron 4 Vapor Edge cleats, as well as a box of cereal with Chase’s own likeness on it.

The Bengals are suffering through a frustrating season as Joe Burrow, their star quarterback, has been banged up and is now out for the season with a wrist injury. But it looks like Chase, who is among the NFL’s leaders in receiving yards and receiving touchdowns, appreciates James’ gesture.
