Las Vegas Raiders star defensive end Maxx Crosby recently revealed the interactions with some of the NBA superstars.
Crosby, who has become one of the faces of the NFL, has certainly made ties with some of sports’ biggest names because of his performances on the field.
Maxx Crosby met NBA stars
This past week, Maxx Crosby was in Los Angeles, California to have surgery on his knee and thumb. It has been noted that during his time there, he and his wife, Rachel Washburn, attended a Los Angeles Clippers and Los Angeles Lakers game on consecutive days.
During the games, Crosby came across Clippers star guard James Harden. It is no secret that Crosby has been a fan of Harden for a long time. When the Lakers were playing the Phoenix Suns, Crosby went on to meet Suns star forward Kevin Durant and interacted with Lakers star LeBron James.
He described those interactions on the latest episode of his podcast, The Rush with Maxx Crosby.
“I manifested this moment for a long time,” he said. “I hit up my boy Slime [Tarantino], Slime knows his agent, I hit up CJ [LaBoy], CJ knows some people from the Clippers. We got some great tickets, and me and Rachel went to the game courtside and got to chop it up with James pregame and then postgame, we got to link up and spend some time together, chop it up, and we locked in. He hooked me up with a jersey, and I have to send him a jersey; it was legendary. Since a child, I’ve been a huge James Harden fan.”
It’s worth noting that Maxx Crosby’s interaction with Durant was identical. However, his interaction with James was a bit different.
“Me and Kevin Durant, we became friends this season,” he said. “He hit me up after the Chargers game, he was locked in watching us, and he was like, ‘Bro, huge fan,’ and we’ve been locked in ever since. So, I told KD, ‘I’m coming to the game,’ we go to the game courtside, got to meet KD, got his jersey as well.”
“I had a little interaction with LeBron, which was nuts. It was crazy. He’s literally on defense, he looks over, and he’s like, ‘Yeah, you’re a motherf—ing dog. You’re a f—ing dog. But you can’t call me a little a– boy,’ and he starts laughing. I was shook. This is f—ing LeBron James. It’s unreal.”
Crosby was picked for his third consecutive Pro Bowl after tallying better numbers than he did in 2022. He set career-highs in sacks with 14.5 and tackles for loss with 23 and led the league for the second consecutive season. Though he has dealt with multiple injuries throughout the season, Crosby ended the season on a high note.
