Atlanta Falcons star Bjan Robinson left NBA superstar LeBron James impressed after helping knock off Super Bowl hopefuls, the Buffalo Bills, on Monday Night Football.
James, 40, is gearing up for his 23rd season in the NBA, but the future Hall of Famer is currently dealing with sciatica, which could see him miss three to four weeks of the 2025/26 season. Still, while the Los Angeles Lakers star prepares and recovers for what could be his last season in the league, declaring he is "closer to the end than the beginning," James is keeping an eye on another sport he has long been passionate about—football.

"He's the best player in football," Morris said of Robinson. "I've said it multiple times. I can't say it enough. You can always have your pick. You can always go out there and figure out who you want to vote for, but in my opinion, he's the best player in football."
Robinson even used an NBA and Steph Curry reference in his postgame comments. "It's like a three-point shooter," Robinson said.
"I've heard that analogy with Steph Curry, like when he starts getting in the groove, the basket looks this big to him, and it seems like he can't miss.

"When those guys are on, when those guys are clicking … with me, I just use the God-given talent with the vision and stuff like that.
"It just opens up and when I find those creases, you've got to take advantage of it and you've got to make those guys miss tackles and make them not want to be there anymore. That's what we did tonight."
