After his amazing touchdown catch and excellent games with the New York Giants, wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. finally got to meet his idol, LeBron James. Now not only is Beckham getting advice from LeBron, he’s also been in contact with the greatest basketball player of all time, Michael Jordan.
Odell Beckham Jr. has begun taking the NFL by storm this season in his rookie year, and has made some amazing highlight catches. He has a strong work ethic and is looking to become the best, and has been seeking advice from NBA superstar LeBron James and NBA legend Michael Jordan. It may seem strange that he is contacting two of the best basketball players in the history of the game, but greatness can help in any sport.
via ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter:
Giants WR @OBJ_3, who has dined w/ LeBron James, has spent past week trading texts w/ Michael Jordan. @OBJ_3 trying to learn from the best.
Odell Beckham Jr. nicknamed both OBJ and ODB set the Giants’ rookie receiving record and is expected to be the first rookie in team history to post a 1,000-yard season. He’s proving to be an excellent target for quarterback Eli Manning and it’ll be interesting to see the duo of him and Victor Cruz once Cruz returns from injury next season.
