One team that could -- perhaps, maybe? -- be flying under the radar is the Charlotte Hornets. Why’s that?
Well, if you didn’t know, LeBron apparently “loves” the popular Charlotte-based chicken chain, Bojangles.
ESPN personality Ryan McGee -- who just so happens to have deep Carolina roots -- talked about James’ love for Bojangles during a 2024 appearance on the Pat McAfee Show.

“Did you know LeBron James loves Charlotte?” McGee asked McAfee during that appearance. “And the reason he loves Charlotte is because Bojangles -- I’m not making this up -- Bojangles chicken.
“When LeBron James was a rookie, the deal was he would leave games at the old Hive ... the takeaway food you get on the plane after a game for the visiting team was a little two-piece box of fried chicken from Bojangles. So LeBron James became so obsessed with Bojangles, he would on the plane -- as a rookie -- hand out cash. He would take it all home.
“And finally, he would send the clubhouse attendant to go buy, like, one of these tailgate packs to take back to Cleveland with him.”
Charlotte certainly isn’t among the favorites to land the 41-year-old basketball legend, but perhaps it hasn’t thrown enough cajun seasoning or Bo-Berry biscuits James’ way.
