LeBron James and Neymar are two of the most recognizable faces on the planet. James and Neymar are two of the best in their respective sports. Neymar recently transferred from Barcelona to Paris St.-Germain F.C. and LeBron left Cleveland for the bright lights of Los Angeles. Both athletes are on the brightest of stages.
The two clearly have a mutual respect for one another. Neymar posted a photo of himself with LeBron James with the caption, “the KING” which, of course, wasn't complete without a crown emoji.

Neymar and LeBron have much more in common than one would think. Of course, they are superstars who recently left a winning team for a bigger and better city. But how they play on the field/court share striking similarities as well.
This is probably the point where we can talk about how they are the focal point of their teams and the offense runs through them, but their similarities aren't all positive Neymar and LeBron are well-known floppers in two sports that lend themselves to these tactics.
Neymar's signature move is to roll around on the ground while clutching his leg or his ankle. Usually, five or six rolls do the trick. LeBron's go-to move is to snap his head back violently before falling to the ground.
The thing is, both players are fouled a lot. More than most other players because of how talented they are. But when the flops become so dramatic, it becomes tired and old.
Obviously, these two are at the top of the list whenever you discuss the best athletes in the world, but it's funny to think about how these two are cursed by opposing fans for their flopping.
