The NBA season started on Tuesday in Denver with the Denver Nuggets hosting the Los Angeles Lakers. Since the game was in Denver, Colorado Buffaloes’ QB and WR duo Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter were in attendance. The Colorado stars were there to watch one of the greatest basketball players of all time, LeBron James.

James has been appreciative of both, Sanders and Hunter in the past. He tweeted about Sanders five touchdown game against FAMU in 2022, when the QB was with Jackson State. The Buffaloes’ coach and a Pro Football Hall of Famer, Deion Sanders was also in attendance for the Nuggets-Lakers game. Deion Sanders is also the head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes and his effect has been felt by the football world. A lot of celebrities have attended Buffs’ games this season.

James shared a cool moment with the Colorado stars after the game. He went to the duo and hugged them saying:

Love y'all boys.

Sanders asked James for his jersey saying: 

You got to send us your jersey. You gotta get us right.

After James left for his locker room, Hunter looked at Sanders and screamed in excitement, which suggests that James might’ve accepted Sanders’ request for a jersey.

The Buffaloes suffered an embarrassing loss against Stanford in their last game. They blew a 29-point lead enroute to a 43-46 overtime loss. As a result of that loss, they have now slipped to 4-3. They will play their next game against the UCLA Bruins next Saturday.

Shedeur Sanders reveals how the Buffaloes can grow from a tough loss against Stanford

The Colorado Buffaloes blew a 29-point lead against the Stanford Cardinal. The Buffs’ star QB Shedeur Sanders revealed that the Colorado team should move on from the loss and focus on the next games.

Sanders said: 

We got to accept this one first. It’s just a different level of, I would say, focus. Different level attitude, different level of just seriousness because the little things — even like when we scored touchdowns, we still busted routes. We just can’t afford to do that because it’s gonna catch up when it catches up.

The Buffs will play their next game on October 28 against UCLA. They will look to bounce back from this tough loss. The Buffaloes started the season 3-0, but have lost three of their next four games and have slipped to 4-3 for the season. Sanders, however, is having a great season.
