LeBron Jamesis pitching himself for an appearance on Jason and Travis Kelce’s podcast.
The Los Angeles Lakers star — and fellow Ohio native — tagged the podcast’s X handle andwrote, “Crazy I can’t get a invite to join yall fantastic show!”
The basketball player jokingly asked, “Is it because you guys are truly the Kings of NE Ohio and I claim to be? Be honest,” adding a handful of emojis. James added, “Seriously you guys are AWESOME!!”
TheNew Heightsaccount quickly replied to James' message in a quote tweet and said the four-time NBA champion has an “open invite anytime” to be a guest on the show.
One user joked that James may be “using” the NFL brothers “for clout” as the show gains listeners amid Travis' rumored romance withTaylor Swift— and the podcast’s X account had a quick reply.
“Are we about to put LeBron James on the map?,” the account replied, referencing the viral trend where women try to convince male football fans that Swift, 33, put Kelce “on the map” over the last two weeks.
Previous guests ofNew Heightshave included actor and Kansas City Chiefs superfanPaul Rudd, Jason’s wifeKylie Kelceand Chiefs quarterbackPatrick Mahomes.

Last week, the athletes dedicated a segment on the showto answering questions from the Swifties about football. The fun segment, called “No Dumb Questions,” was a hit with the fanbase. Questions from Swift’s fans included the definitions of a down and a field goal, and what the job is of a tight end like Travis.
After the segment, Jason thanked Swift’s fans for the opportunity to do something different on their show. “That was fun, thanks Swifties. Thanks for making that possible,” he said.
