‘Still repping LA’ – Fans react to LeBron James watching Matthew Stafford’s incredible TD pass

LeBron James was in attendance at SoFi Stadium for the Los Angeles Rams’ 28-6 win over the New York Giants in Week 2.

The NBA offseason is in its final few days as training camps are about to resume across all 30 teams in the league.

LeBron James made a huge move to the Philadelphia 76ers over the summer and will be locked in for camp, but he chose to enjoy an NFL game in his former home of Los Angeles before going out East.

James was spotted on ESPN’s Monday Night Football broadcast reacting to Rams QB Matthew Stafford’s 31-yard pass to WR Davante Adams for an incredible touchdown.

Fans can feel LeBron’s love for LA just through his presence and excitement at the game.

“GOAT still repping LA,” said one fan.

“Everywhere but Philadelphia,” complained another fan.

“Bruh needs to be in Philly,” said a fan, reiterating the thoughts of many.

“Yeah, he’s so far from locked in. Knicks FC, I hope y’all are ready for this repeat, because I am,” said one excited Knicks fan.

“Clearly came just to root against the Giants,” were the thoughts of another fan who thinks James was there for a hate-watch and not to support the Rams.

James could very well be seen at the next Philadelphia Eagles game and end speculation over where his allegiances lie.

As of the writing of this article, the 76ers’ media day for the new NBA season will take place on September 28, which is six days away.

This will arguably be the most-anticipated media day around the NBA coming into the 2026-27 season, so LeBron will likely start fitting into the city over the next few days before conducting media day.

Training camp begins on September 29, and the 76ers play their first preseason game against the reigning champions New York Knicks on October 5.

James might not feature in preseason but will use this time to connect with his teammates and new community.

Attending an offseason NFL game in Los Angeles, where his entire family lives, should not be remotely surprising.
