Despite his on-court woes, James has been making headlines off the court with his impressive NFL betting skills. Using the sports betting platform DraftKings, James recently crafted a flawless touchdown parlay during Week 16 of the NFL season, banking on the performances of Justin Jefferson, James Cook, and Chuba Hubbard. This successful bet earned him a lucrative payout, which he enthusiastically shared with his followers on Instagram[1].
James's passion for football is well-documented, and he has been an avid follower of the sport since his high school days as a standout wide receiver. His recent praise for Philadelphia Eagles' star running back Saquon Barkley, following Barkley's explosive performance against the Washington Commanders, further highlights his deep connection to the sport[1].
As the Lakers prepare to face the Detroit Pistons, fans will be watching closely to see if James will be able to participate and whether he can carry his winning momentum from his NFL betting success back to the basketball court.
