Is LeBron James the new Drake? The noted Browns and Cowboys fan has a third team: the Los Angeles Rams. On Sunday, James and his sons, LeBron Jr. and Bryce, attended the Rams' first home game in Los Angeles since 1994.

Meanwhile, the Cowboys, not willing to lose King James, trolled the Rams for thinking his Los Angeles appearance means something.

It should be noted LeBron James spent time on the sidelines with Rams billionaire owner Stan Kroenke. Kroenke's company, Kroenke Sports Enterprises owns the Rams, Denver Nuggets (NBA), Colorado Avalanche (NHL), Colorado Rapids (MLS) and Colorado Mammoth (NLL). Kroenke is also the largest shareholder of Arsenal of the English Premier League.
James holds a minority stake in Liverpool (EPL), and if he wants a broader future in sports ownership, Kroenke may have an in for King James.
The Rams beat the Seahawks, 9-3, to move to 1-1.
