Nfl Playoff Schedule: LeBrown James fights for NFL team at fair receiver
Nfl Playoff Schedule: In a television commercial debuting Sunday for State Farm Insurance, James, a former star wide receiver in high school, suits up for the Cleveland Browns. LeBron James suits up at wide receiver for his hometown Cleveland Browns.
LeBrown James fights for NFL team at wide receiver: A die-hard Dallas Cowboys fan, James wears a brown No. 23 Browns jersey with “LeBron” on the back. The spot was recently shot at the University of Akron’s indoor training facility and will be shown will during Sunday’s AFC and NFC championship games.
This will be the second commercial James has done with State Farm, which signed him to a sponsorship last year hoping he could help the company attract young adult policyholders.
“He is one of the few sports stars who transcends his sport as a pop culture icon,” said State Farm’s Mark Gibson, an assistant vice president of advertising. “He has helped connect people to State Farm who may not have been connected with us.”
James also has done public service announcements and appearances for the insurance provider.
At 6-foot-8 and 250 pounds, James often describes himself as a football player. He was an All-Ohio selection at Akron’s St. Vincent-St. Mary High School and still plays flag football at the school during the offseason.
James said he had input into the commercial, which shows using some of his basketball skills to help the Browns on the football field.
“I chose what team I wanted to wear, what I wanted to do and which routes I wanted to run,” he said.
James has been criticized by Cleveland fans for supporting the Cowboys and New York Yankees. He triggered a public outcry when he wore a Yankees cap to an Indians playoff game two years ago and again to a Browns home game against Dallas last season .
So was it tough pulling on an orange Browns helmet and not one with a star on it?
“No,” James said with a wink. “I love the Browns.”

Cool, I think it’s great to see a Professional Athlete that has a good reputation and is a role model for young people to expand his horizons. The reporter need s to learn that LeBron’s “hometown” is actually Canton, OH. Not Cleveland… there is a difference between a hometown and the town you reside in.
He just needs to be careful and not get injured so that he cannot play either game. That is the folly of most Pro Athletes, they think they are immortally young and fit! and will be shown will during Sunday’s AFC and NFC championship games.
the truth is that sometimes you dream in being ah different sport other then the one that your already mastered.but that’s good because if you keep doing something that your already mastered at,you’ll never grow.
It’s a wonder the Cavs let him. If he gets hurt the Cavs could go down the tubes in a hurry.
Nfl Playoff Schedule: The most over-hyped, over-rated sports star of our generation. He can rack up 40 one night and rack up 12 the next. He’ll get you 10 assists one night and be a ball hogg the next. When it all cooks down the NBA will get what it wants out of Lebron, some commercials and a widened fan base. Not because James is th”King”, because the NBA is the easiest sport to market it’s players.
