Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo or Neymar: LeBron James's favorite soccer players in the world

Lebron James is a world celebrity. His basketball skills made him one of the GOATs of that sport, after showing his incredible performances at Los Angeles Lakers, Cleveland Cavaliers and Miami Heat. But now, he took a time to talk to his fans about soccer, and he said something curious.

King James was doing an Instagram live, when fans asked him about the soccer players he likes the most. His first answer was Liverpool players, given he has shares of the club. But then, he named some of the best of the world, and surprised everybody when he mentioned Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.

Because he did not mention Lionel Messi. When one of the soccer GOATs is mentioned, it is not common to forget the other one. Then LeBron asked someone who was also there about her favorite player, and when her answer was Messi, he replied 'Yeah, Messi, for sure'.

It is not that he does not like the Argentinian, because LeBron actually admires Lio and in the past he had pointed out that American basketball should imitate what FC Barcelona did to sign Messi when he was a kid. But there has happened a funny anecdote of a GOAT forgetting another GOAT.
