Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has come out with his prediction on this season's Heisman Trophy winner. It comes to no surprise that he has picked Ohio State Buckeyes quarterback Dwayne Haskins to bag the prestigious award by the end of the college football season.
James is a huge supporter of Ohio State, and a very vocal one at that. He recently went full savage on teammate Mo Wagner on Twitter after the Buckeyes defeated Wagner's Michigan Wolverines.
Despite his bias, LeBron is actually making a lot of sense here. Haskins, the recent winner of the Big Ten Championship MVP, has been killing it for the Buckeyes this year, and is certainly deserving of at least being in the conversation for the Heisman Trophy.
Also, having the endorsement of arguably the best athlete in the planet today should somehow make Haskins' case more legitimate.
As for James and basketball though, he too, is making his own case for the sport's most important individual award — the Bill Russell NBA Most Valuable Player trophy.
After a relatively slow start to the season, the Lakers have been a much better team of late, and this is thanks in large part to James' outstanding play. The 34-year-old is currently putting up 28.1 points (his highest mark since the 2009-10 season when he was still on his first stint with the Cleveland Cavaliers) on 52.0 percent shooting, a career-best 2.2 three-pointers, 7.8 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.9 blocks in 34.8 minutes of action.
Those are definitely MVP-worthy number in my book.
