LeBron James was born in Ohio, home to the Michigan Wolverines' top rival, Ohio State. James took a light-hearted swipe at the Wolverines after a recent Lakers game.
NBA superstar LeBron James did not play basketball at Ohio State, but he was born in Ohio and has shown his support for the Buckeyes over the years. Michigan's football program is embroiled in a sign-stealing scandal, which prompted the Big Ten Conference to suspend Jim Harbaugh from coaching the team's final three regular-season games. Wolverines football staffer Connor Stalions was suspended over the alleged sign-stealing scheme, later resigning.
James said the Lakers were able to decipher some of Suns coach Frank Vogel’s signals on the sideline because the team is familiar with him. Vogel coached the Lakers when they won their 2020 title in the NBA bubble. 'The best thing about tonight is we were able to get those signals, and we’ll still be able to play on Sunday,' James said, referring to the Lakers' next game. 'We won’t get suspended, like that team up north.
