The American NBA star loves French songs and particularly this singer.
LeBron James is a legend of basketball and sport in general in the United States, but also around the world. In 2024, he begins his 22nd season in the NBA, proof of his longevity. A season which also promises to be very special since the Paris 2024 Olympic champion will play with his son Bronny James, who joined the Los Angeles Lakers franchise.
“Getting on the field at my age, with the miles I’ve put in, and being able to play at the level I played at, it made me feel even more like I still had some left in the tank. A lot. And I can help a lot of the team achieve the ultimate victory, whether it’s gold or the Larry O’Brien Trophy. Whatever it is, I can still do it.” launched the American before this season.
To give himself motivation, LeBron James has a playlist that he listens to, when he wakes up, during training, before the match. And surprise, he is a fan of a French singer, the legend Charles Aznavour. On Instagram, LeBron James published this famous morning playlist which included His youth et To my daughtertwo songs by the French star, accompanied by a little tribute: “So peaceful and elegant even if he admitted “not understanding the lyrics but rather the rhythm of the music and the melody.”
The NBA champion was even entitled to a little message from Charles Aznavour during the show “Clique”, broadcast on Canal+ in September 2018, during Aznavour’s last appearance on television.
“James, this is Charles Aznavour. I learned that you liked my songs and I, on the other hand, the sport you practice is one of my favorite sports. I’m not very sporty at all. Apart from that, I think everything is going very well for you, I think we will meet one of these days, James, and good luck,” said the singer, who died a few weeks later.
“It’s incredible!” said the Los Angeles Lakers player who seemed to be very happy with this little attention from the presenter and the singer.
