LeBron James is on the mend after catching a knee to the groin from Patrick Beverley on Christmas Day but even as he is recovering, James still has some other important things to do when it comes to his favorite football team, the Ohio State Buckeyes.
James has been a supporter of the Buckeyes for a long time, even attending the 2015 National Championship Game that Ohio State won. His gifts to the program over the years have included customized LeBron football cleats and ahead of their Fiesta Bowl National Semifinal matchup with Clemson, James gifted the entire team Beats headphones before Saturday’s game.
It’s currently unclear that LeBron plays on Saturday night when the Lakers visit the Portland Trail Blazers, given that he felt like he suffered a setback in the first quarter of their Christmas Day loss against the Clippers. James and the Lakers will otherwise be at home for a few weeks until Jan. 7.
James was an original investor in Beats when the company was started by Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine and he received a considerable payday when Beats was purchased by Apple. He still remains a Beats spokesperson.
