Odell Beckham goes nuts when his buddy LeBron James hits game winner
This probably should be filed under game recognizing game.
Odell Beckham is from Louisiana, and applies his trade in New York/New Jersey as a popular receiver for the New York Giants. He has no connection to the Cleveland Cavaliers … well, other than recently becoming friends with LeBron James.
But the way Beckham went nuts for James’ great buzzer-beating shot against the Chicago Bulls on Sunday, you’d have thought he was a Cavs fan since the days of Bingo Smith.
That’s fun. Really though, this was just a callback to James getting excited about Beckham’s most famous moment:
Beckham said he was a huge fan of James, even before the two met. There aren’t many people who can really understand James’ athletic genius, but his wide receiver buddy in New York is one of them.
