In another part of the event, James tested his finishing ability by striking multiple shots into the goal from different angles, showing the coordination and footwork that have also become trademarks of his basketball game.
His soccer talent isn’t entirely surprising. Growing up, James was a passionate fan of the sport and often referred to Brazilian star Neymar as his “GOAT.”
He also played soccer as a child and helped lead his sixth-grade team to a league championship.
This isn’t the first time James has impressed outside of basketball.
Earlier this offseason, he received praise for his golf swing, with many fans believing his mechanics looked even smoother than those of his father, LeBron James.
