LeBron James has accepted Cam Newton’s challenge to a game of Madden NFL. The feud started when Newton dismissed claims by James’ Lakers teammate Anthony Davis that James is a top 1,000 Madden player, saying “Cap!” and that he would “crush” James in the game.
In response, James posted on Instagram: “Tomorrow can be that day! LMK and we’ll figure out a time.” James has a strong football background, having been a highly-recruited five-star prospect in high school and drawing comparisons to NFL greats like Antonio Gates and Steve Largent.
While Newton has actual NFL experience, James has dedicated significant time to mastering Madden and even claimed to have beaten the 164th best player in the world. James seems confident he can defeat Newton, who believes James doesn’t have enough time to dedicate to the game to beat him.
This high-profile matchup between two sports superstars is sure to generate a lot of excitement among fans. James is ready to prove he can hang with Newton in the virtual gridiron, and the trash talk has only added to the anticipation.
