LeBron James is widely seen as one of the best two NBA players of all time.

The Los Angeles Lakers superstar is also a notable NFL fan who has frequently shared his opinions about the sport over the years.

Earlier this month, James made his prediction for the 2025 Super Bowl (h/t DraftKings Sportsbook).

James: "I got Baltimore coming out of the AFC. I'm not counting out Patty Mahomes, just like you'd never count out Tom Brady. I just feel like this could be Baltimore's year. They got Derrick Henry. One of my favorite players in the NFL... I got the 49ers going back... I think it'll be a rematch. 49ers and Baltimore."

James was not willing to predict the final score.
