LeBron James gets compared to Cristiano Ronaldo after joining the Philadelphia 76ers.

LeBron James and Cristiano Ronaldo are undoubtedly freaks of nature as they continue to play their respective sports, despite being 41 years old.

While Ronaldo has joined a less competitive league, the same cannot be said for James, as he recently joined one of the best teams in the NBA, the Philadelphia 76ers.

Piers Morgan reacts to LeBron James’ ‘amazing move’ to Philadelphia 76ers, compares him to Cristiano Ronaldo

Popular journalist and Ronaldo superfan Piers Morgan recently reacted to the news of James joining Philly. Morgan shared a message of support for King on Instagram.

“Amazing move by LeBron James to leave the LA Lakers after eight years for the Philadelphia 76ers. He’s 41, has nothing left to prove, but is taking a massive pay cut to try and win one more Championship with a different team on a different coast.

“I’ve loved watching him at the Lakers but so admire this spirit and decision,” Morgan said.

Morgan wasn’t done as he then compared James to Ronaldo and wished him good luck for the next chapter of his NBA career.

“He’s the Cristiano Ronaldo of basketball. Good luck, LeBron, and thanks for all the wonderful times at the Lakers. PS: You won’t be wearing shorts playing golf in Philly in the winter,” Morgan concluded.

Morgan posted this on his IG handle with a picture of James, where they were presumably going to play golf. Either way, Morgan seems happy to see LBJ in Philly colors and wishes nothing but the best for him.
