Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James got right up to speed with EA Sports' new College Football 25 video game as part of the GameDay Showcase on Saturday.
LeBron was playing against his longtime friend Frankie Walker for his beloved Ohio State Buckeyes, while James took on Walker and the Miami Hurricanes, leading 28-0 by halftime.
James also played for Deion Sanders' Colorado Buffaloes against the rival Oregon Ducks, with LeBron leading the Buffaloes 24-7 in the third quarter.
James was serious while playing at OSU, but has become a lot more playful since taking charge of Colorado.
The NBA's all-time leading scorer coached Colorado's star wide receiver and cornerback Travis Hunter and playfully imitated Coach Prime by making a killer jet sweep play.
Shortly after the match began, hugely popular streamer and YouTuber Kai Cenat came out to chat with King James.
The four-time NBA champion, NBA Finals MVP and NBA MVP looked mostly natural in College Football 25, but his play wasn't without some hiccups.
LeBron made the somewhat surprising decision to play for OSU's rival, Penn State, but it worked against him, as he found himself behind Texas and hadn't scored a single point by the end of the first half.
It's the NBA offseason, but James remains as busy as ever as he's part of the U.S. team competing in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris later this month.
LeBron is in the midst of Olympic preparations and Team USA training camp, but he still found time to play one of the most anticipated video games of recent times.
It's been 11 years since the release of the last college football video game, NCAA Football 14, and college football fans and gamers alike have been waiting for the series to return.
The wait is finally coming to an end, and the excitement James feels when he's playing the game will likely be similar to what many others will feel when they pick up a stick next week.
College Football 25 officially hits stores on July 19th, but those who pre-order the Deluxe Edition can play early, starting on July 16th.
