🏀 LeBron James’ Subliminal Message

The meaning behind LeBron James putting his kids front and center. [View in browser]( [FOX SPORTS INSIDER WITH MARTIN ROGERS] In today’s FOX Sports Insider with Martin Rogers: LeBron doesn't do much by accident, so it's not hard to see why he's putting his kids front and center ... previewing the Premier League season ... and more! Whether you are the type of person who spends half their life watching online videos (aka a teenager) or you make occasional forays into the social sphere, chances are good that you spotted a clip featuring LeBron James this week. The Los Angeles Lakers star posted a sequence of him and his two sons – Bronny and Bryce – putting in some serious training work at the team’s facility. It was impressive, in many ways endearing — and a signal of intent. James doesn’t do much by accident, and over the years there have been countless instances where his interviews, Instagram posts, comments, actions or clothing choices came laced with subliminal subtlety, thinly veiled messaging coated in appealing content. That such a piece would drop a couple of days before the four-time NBA champion became eligible for a contract extension with the Lakers could have been a coincidence. Ha! Yeah, maybe. Only James knows what the message truly is, but you can deduce that it’s some version of an implied statement along the following lines: If the Lakers want James to swiftly commit to anything beyond the one year remaining on his present Tinseltown deal, then family had better be part of the bargain.

[BET OF THE DAY] [BET OF THE DAY] Odds provided by [FOX Bet]( Texas RB Bijan Robinson to win Heisman: +2000 FOX Sports Betting Analyst Jason McIntyre: Bijan Robinson is poised to be an All-American this upcoming season. He followed up a good freshman year with 1,422 yards from scrimmage and 15 TDs, and there is no reason he can't surpass those numbers this year. Robinson opened at +4200 but was quickly bet down — one of the biggest movers for the award. While the offensive line was below average last year, they return four starters on that front. Now freshman QB Quinn Ewers steps in, whose arm should keep defenses honest. If Robinson can get to 2,000 yards of total offense, he should get the call to New York.
