The Pro-football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders is an active social media personality who is always blunt in his responses. Recently, the former Cowboys cornerback became upset watching a media outlet comparing Raiders quarterback Derek Carr and NBA legend LeBron James. However, it turns out that Sanders is an avid LeBron fan and doesn’t like the comparison.

Comparing NFL and NBA stars has always been a long-standing trend in the sports fraternity. Similarly, a media outlet, All Sports Culture, shared an Instagram post mentioning that the least-watched NFL Week 15 game of Raiders vs. Brown attracted an audience of 5.86 million.

At the same time, NBA’s Nets vs. Lakers’ most anticipated match could only accumulate a viewership of 5.75 million. The outlet asked the fans whether NFL was more popular among the fans.

But there was an issue with the post. It featured a photograph of Lakers Superstar LeBron James compared to Raiders’ Derek Carr. It irked Sanders to react, and he made a bold comment against such comparisons.

“Facts are Facts but don’t use King James to make your point! That’s my dude, and he’s an American Hero!” Sanders wrote on his Instagram story. A Hall of Famer admiring another GOAT in the world of sports. The 54-year-old athlete is the only player to have played in both a Super Bowl and a World Series.

He is an avid Baseball player too. Having played for 14 seasons in the NFL and nine seasons in the MLB, Sanders got inducted into the pro-football Hall of Fame in 2011. He won two Super Bowl titles in his career, and after retirement, Sanders pursued coaching as a full-time job. Today, he serves as a head coach for the college football team Jackson State Tigers.

Was the comparison between Derek Carr and LeBron James really worth it?

The NBA star LeBron James is a big name in the sports world. He has 4 NBA championship titles to his name. However, Derek Carr has not even won a single Super Bowl title. Thus comparing him with James happens to be a far-fetched idea.

The 31-year-old Raiders QB got selected in the 2014 NFL draft. He recorded 193 touchdowns and completed 31,700 passing yards. Moreover, he also boasts of three Pro-Bowl selections with several other records to his name. On the other side, James had contributed to the nation by winning two Gold on the world Olympic stage.
