Intriguingly, LeBron James has declared that 23-year-old Kylian Mbappe is one of the best football players of all time.

Mbappe will play in his second World Cup final on Sunday afternoon against Argentina, who will be led by Lionel Messi, who is again playing France but has not yet taken home a title.

It is the first time the two countries have faced each other since the last World Cup, where France defeated Argentina 4-3 to go to the round of 16. In that game, Mbappe was the player of the match, scoring the last two goals to send France through and win the tournament.

In addition, before Sunday’s rematch between the two countries, a Los Angeles Lakers superstar was asked about his guess for who will win the biggest football trophy.

The 37-year-old refused to answer when asked who he would pick as the champion. Rather, he conveyed his profound respect for both of his Paris St-Germain teammates before making a somewhat bold forecast.”I won’t be making a selection,” he asserted. What time does the game start? “7 a.m.” Yes, that’s okay, 7 am. so that I could get up and see it. We’ll find out. All I want is to watch a thrilling game like everyone else around the world, and whoever watches games thinking of Argentina or friends. 

It’s going to be an amazing one, and I can’t wait to watch two of the best players in that sport’s history square off. It will be fun. While Mbappe is undoubtedly one of the best players in the game, up there with Messi and Erling Haaland, and has already won a World Cup, it seems a bit much to crown the 23-year-old as the greatest of all time. James is a co-owner of Liverpool FC, although he’s not exactly known for being a big football fan.

But he did attend the most recent Champions League final, which saw Real Madrid defeat Liverpool. Rumor has it that James gets along well with Mbappe, with whom he has been pictured several times while they were Nike basketball and football ambassadors.
