"LeBron Didn’t Go Saudi to Statpad": LeBron James Fans Roast Back Cristiano Ronaldo For Mocking Lakers Star's Hairline

Cristiano Ronaldo and LeBron James have set a new standard in peak athleticism and longevity. However, when the former Real Madrid star, who now plays for Al-Nassr FC in the Saudi Pro League, made fun of the LA Lakers star's hairline, fans took turns roasting Ronaldo.

The Portuguese soccer star appeared for a sit-down with Piers Morgan on Thursday. During the interview, Ronaldo joked about having a better hairline than the NBA star.

"There’s also LeBron James at this age who is playing. But I have more hair than him!"

Reacting to Ronaldo's comment, one of the fans made fun of Ronaldo's ego.

"CR7 flexing hair over LeBron… at 40, priorities are peak ego 🥶⚡😂."

Another fan defended the Lakers' star with a brutal jab at the soccer star.

"Lebron didn’t go Saudi to statpad though 😭."

A fan said Ronaldo wasn't on the same level as LeBron James.

"Lebron is next level, you are not."

Another fan slammed the former Real Madrid star, reminding him that James still played in the best league, unlike him, who played in Saudi Arabia.

"Lebron is playing at the top level 3+ times a week while you play in the Saudi league."

Another fan hilariously highlighted Ronaldo's interview with Morgan and questioned his mental health.

"So I summarize this interview, CR7 think he's, more famous than Trump, more handsome than Beckham, better than Messi, more hairline than LeBron. Mental illness."

Another fan commented that, unlike James, Ronaldo was washed up at 40.

"LeBron didn't run away to a weak league though."

Another fan called Ronaldo an insecure man.

"Most insecure man I've ever seen."

Lakers make big LeBron James' return announcement

LeBron James missed the season-opener for the first time in his entire career. The Lakers star has yet to appear in a game this season with sciatica, but the latest update from the team could be good news for the Lakers fans.

According to ESPN's Dave McMenamin, James has made a big improvement in his injury rehab and has stepped up to contact basketball activity. The team said that the 4x NBA champion will be reevaluated by the physicians in the next one or two weeks.

The Lakers, even without LeBron James, have been one of the best teams in the league. They are the 2nd seed in the West with a 7-2 record. Moreover, they have also won their last five consecutive games. Moreover, the Lakers are the only team in the league so far who haven't dropped a single road game (4-0) this season.
