LeBron James didn’t get his wish when it came to where his
fellow Nike and McDonald’s endorsee Johnny Manziel was selected, but that didn’t
stop him from showing support.

Prior to the 2014 NFL Draft, James was on record saying that
he wanted the kid dubbed ‘Johnny Football’ to be the first overall selection in
the draft.
“Being a huge supporter and friend of Johnny, I want him to
go number one,” James stated.
When Manziel didn’t go first overall, James held out hope
that the quarterback would be selected by his favorite team, the Dallas Cowboys.
Despite Manziel’s availability, the Cowboys passed on him,
and the highly-touted talent fell to 22nd overall, where he was
selected by James’ home-state Browns.
Only hours after Manziel’s selection, ‘The King’ was spotted
sporting a Browns’ Manziel jersey on the Heat’s team plane.
It was a solid showing of support between, um, friends, but
the Browns hope the newest answer to their quarterback conundrum doesn’t follow
his friends’ footsteps out of Cleveland.
