Wherever you go, you’ll find the LeBron James Effect. Well, you don’t believe it? Look around and see; you’ll find at least one person trying to imitate the King. Whether it’s his smooth moves on the court or his iconic SILENCER celebration, fans miss nothing. Moreover, how the NBA legend has spread his wings across different sports is also a unique sight. But why are we suddenly talking about James’ influence?
Well, Saturday’s nail-biting SEC showdown between Georgia and Alabama had the audience in a chokehold. LeBron James, too, fully immersed himself in the excitement of the game. Alabama secured a 41-34 win, despite Georgia’s strong comeback. Jalen Milroe of the Crimson Tide delivered a standout performance. The game was an absolute feast for people who love thrillers.
One of the match’s main highlights was Jalen Milroe taking center stage, dressed in a red suit and helmet, imitating LeBron James. Alabama’s 21-year-old quarterback copied the silencer just as fiercely as the King does before his rivals. This move impressed the 20-time NBA All-Star so much that he couldn’t resist sharing it on his Instagram Story in applause. Sharing the iconic slip of Milroe and his teammate doing his celebration with a blazing background, LeBron James wrote: “SILENCER was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏿”

Well, undoubtedly, Jalen Milroe’s style left a mark on the 4x champ. The 21-year-old seems like an ardent LeBron James fan, like most of the audience. Therefore, when he got his chance to shine, he shone in the ‘LeBron James Style’. Moreover, with the Heisman Trophy on target, Milroe could receive added support from the King of the Court. This will only boost the QB’s morale for the trophy run. Meanwhile, Colorado’s cornerback Travis Hunter remains one of the top choices for the award. So who will have the last smile?
LeBron James’ favorite, Jalen Milroe, emerges as the Heisman Trophy frontrunner
Jalen Milroe & Co. ended Georgia’s 42-game regular-season winning streak. This achievement itself is a commendable one. However, this isn’t where the finish line is being drawn. LeBron James would be happy to know that his Alabama Tide Crimson’s QB, the one who devotedly imitated his SILENCER, Jalen Milroe, has now become the forerunner for the Heisman Trophy.
Leaving behind Travis Hunter and Miami’s Cam Ward on the list, Milroe is the new favorite in town. As you can see, LeBron James always has his eyes on the typical ‘champion materials’ and the 21YO is no exception. Moreover, several reasons might be adding up to push Milroe toward the trophy. Primarily, his 87.6 quarterback rating makes him the fifth-best in the whole of the USA. Meanwhile, his record of 62 out of 88 touchdowns in the last four matches makes Jalen Milroe one of the best NCAAF stars currently.
Sports fever never leaves us. As college football progresses with its leaps and bounds, the NBA knocks at the door. Well, as an alleged LeBron James fan, Jalen Milroe is shooting for the stars. Meanwhile, our 20x NBA All-Star is waiting to brace the arena along with his debutant son, Bronny. But most importantly, he’s waiting to win the fifth championship before the lights go out on his career.
