Dallas Cowboys: LeBron James

When it comes to professional athletes, there is no-one in this world who is more famous than LeBron James. Since his high school days at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in Akron, Ohio, James has captivated the sports landscape with his incredible play, and based on last season, he does not appear to be slowing up any time soon.

Though he grew up in the Cleveland area, LeBron is no fan of the Browns. Sure, he will root for them if they ever in the running for a division title, but his loyalty lies with America’s Team. That is right, James is a huge Cowboys fan, and has been a fixture at games during his professional career.

During James’ time in high school, he was actually a standout wide receiver, and you have to think with his size he could have ended up playing in the NFL has the whole basketball thing not worked out. With Jason Witten retiring this offseason, maybe the Cowboys should fire up the phone and reach out to the three time NBA Champion.

All kidding aside, when it comes to Cowboys fans, there is no one more famous than James. The problem for the King is the Cowboys have not been a very successful team in recent years, winning only two playoff game over the past 22 seasons.

Over that span, James has enjoyed much more success than his beloved Cowboys. In fact, he has been to eight straight NBA Finals, and while he has only won three rings, his teams have absolutely dominated the Eastern Conference. The Cowboys have some solid talent, and maybe James will start to see more than just a couple of playoff wins over the next 22 seasons.
