LeBron James has the perfect choice for the Super Bowl LX

That’s it Super Bowl Sunday, baby! It’s the final week of the 2025 NFL season, and it will end with a matchup that fans from the 2010s might be familiar with. The Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots are back in the Super Bowl and compete in the last game of the season. The fans are eagerly awaiting the match between the two powerful leagues.
NFL fans are already picking sides and saying who they’re rooting for in this matchup. Some want the Seahawks to win, partly out of a desire to see Sam Darnold’s redemption story have a happy ending, and partly out of spite and not wanting to see the Patriots’ old dynasty return. Others are rooting for Drake May and the Patriots to finish their Cinderella season perfectly.
If you ask Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron Jameshowever, the answer is quite simple. After the Los Angeles Lakers’ win over the Golden State Warriors, LeBron went into NFL fan mode and said he’s rooting for whoever wins the Super Bowl.
“I got a winner.”

If there’s one thing NFL fans can agree on this Super Bowl weekend, it’s that no one expected either team to play this weekend, let alone both. After acquiring Sam Darnold, Seattle was seen as a potential playoff contender, but not a team that would go deep. In contrast, expectations were low for New England after taking over from Mike Vrabel as the new head coach.
Still, here we are. Darnold built on his breakout season in Minnesota last season and helped the Seahawks dominate the NFC en route to the No. 1 seed. Backed by arguably the best defense in the league, Seattle is on the verge of getting revenge on the team that broke their hearts 11 years ago.
The Patriots’ road to the Super Bowl was somewhat similar to that of the Seahawks. After a solid rookie season, Drake Maie has emerged as a bona fide MVP candidatelosing by just two votes to Matthew Stafford in the MVP voting race. Armed with a similarly stout defense, the Patriots-Seahawks matchup is expected to be a complete no-brainer, just like it was 11 years ago in Super Bowl XLIX.
