The Kelce podcast

LeBron James has a larger-than-life personality and it is celebrated by people across the sports. When the Kelce brothers, Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce, sat for an episode on their podcast, it would be incomplete without talking about basketball and not LeBron. 

In a recent episode of their New Heights podcast, the Kelce brothers welcomed actor and rapper Lil Dicky. During their conversation, it was revealed that LeBron James is an admirer of Lil Dicky's new sitcom, and he even publicly endorsed it on social media. 

While sharing their experiences with LeBron James’ interest in the current podcasts, Jason remembered his interaction with the Los Angeles Lakers star. Jason said, “We feel the exact same way. He tweeted us while I was at practice, and as I'm coming off the practice field, I'm like a school girl with some hot gossip."


"Like the hottest guy in the world thinks you're sexy. It was like, 'no way'!" Jason further added.

While having a comparative talk on men’s and women’s basketball, James said, “The men have the ability to go to the NBA right after our freshman year. In the women's game, you have the ability to build your legacy and build your rapport and brand with that fan base, with that community.” 


The duo also highlighted how the Men's top college basketball players often lack the same level of emotional attachment with their fan bases due to the rapid transition to professional leagues. This compelling theory highlights the potential influence of the duration of college life careers on the dynamics and public perception of basketball on both the Men's and Women's sides.
