There are a lot of sports stars who have gone on record in stating their admiration for UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor, but the Dubliner may have just received his most high-profile endorsement yet.
In the past we've seen Arnold Schwarzenegger show some love:
Congrats to the McGregor-nator @TheNotoriousMMA on terminating another opponent. Can't wait for your world championship fight. I'll be there
— Arnold (@Schwarzenegger) January 19, 2015
And Rory McIlory admit that he had been converted:
He turned a skeptic into a believer last night... @TheNotoriousMMA is the real deal. Talk is cheap but that left hand will make him ??????

But Conor has now got LeBron James quoting him and spreading his word to his followers. He's only got 17.3 million, by the way:
That's pretty cool.
While he has been eclipsed on the court by the feats of Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors in recent times, the Cleveland Cavaliers star remains one of the biggest draws in the NBA, and is easily one of the most famous sportsmen on the planet.
