|    LeBron and Zlatan Feud in Urban Legends    |
|    13 Feb 23 04:50:07    |
      From: jack@kwasbeb.se              A question about a suspected sports urban legend:              When Swedish soccer player Zlatan Ibrahimovic and US basket player LeBron       James both joined new teams in L.A in 2018, the two aging superstars egos       seemed too big for one city. A feud followed where they dissed eachother in       interviews.               And then, this story started circulating on social media and in sports news:              "It was reported that LeBron James, as a way to welcome the striker to LA,       sent him his own, signed Lakers jersey. Instead of keeping this memento from       perhaps the greatest player in the history of the NBA, Zlatan sent the jersey       back to him with his own        sign on it."              This, however, has no source and has, as far as I've seen, not been confirmed       neither commented by any of Ibrahimovic or LeBron. The earliest tellings of       this story that I've found are from April 2021.              My question:              Have you heard this story before, but about other sports stars? Or are you       familiar with any potential sources of inspiration? Movies or books where       similar things happen, that could have inspired the story?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
