LeBron James is an Ohio-born NBA player who’s also a strong supporter of the Ohio State Buckeyes football team. Therefore, it came as no surprise that the legendary athlete will watch the most important game of the season.
The Buckeyes were up against Georgia State in the College Football Championship semifinal round, also known as the Peach Bowl. James also shared that he was excited about the game when he put up a 47-point performance in the Lakers-Hawks game, which also marked his 38th birthday.
The Ohio State and Georgia State Peach Bowl game was an exhilarating affair where the Georgians pulled off an incredible comeback in the 4th quarter. However, the ball was still in the Buckeye’s court as they had the chance to make the 50-year field goal with just a second remaining on the clock.
Unfortunately, the kicker couldn’t make the shot and the Buckeyes lost the game by a mere point. James was incredibly astounded by what transpired in the 4th quarter and decided to tweet regarding the same. “WTF was that!!!!!!” the Tweet read.
Ohio State kicker Noah Ruggles kicked the ball way off the target and it didn’t make any sense to all the people watching. The abysmal kick by the kicker cost the Buckeyes their championship hope, and James will have to wait another year to see them win a college football championship.
