"I want to put myself in the best winning situation" - NFL star likens himself to Kevin Durant, compares Aaron Rodgers to LeBron James

LeBron James and Kevin Durant are NBA superstars in their own right. They have both reached the point where even people outside the sport have an opinion on them. NFL superstar Von Miller compared NFL and NBA players on his recently launched show with Bleacher Report.

When asked about LeBron James first, Miller said the NFL version of James would be quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

​

"Aaron Rodgers? He's like the poster child for success and championships," Miller said. 'Even though he's only won one, you identify Aaron Rodgers with winning and success, and that would be my LeBron James."

After labeling Cooper Kupp as the Stephen Curry of the NFL due to both being clean-shaven, talented and record-breakers, Miller focused on another superstar.

Miller thinks that he is the Kevin Durant of the NFL, adding:

​

"That would be me. I love winning. I just created this obsession with winning. I'm not afraid to go to another team to do it. I've been on superteams. Been playing football for a long time, and all I want to do is win and I want to put myself in the best winning situation that I possibly can."

Miller was then asked if he has a burner account, to which he responded:

​

"I do. Yeah, I do. I mean, I can't give it to you because then it's not a burner account anymore, but yeah, I got a little finsta."

Von Miller's comparisons between NBA and NFL players was interesting, and his reasoning behind them made sense. His admission that he uses a burner account could help Kevin Durant, as it is likely many athletes do. Durant just happened to get caught using one.

Kevin Durant excited for LeBron James produced documentary on 2008 Olympics

LeBron James and Dwyane Wade have produced a documentary on the famous 2008 Olympics' "Redeem Team." The 2004 United States team missed many star players and lost the semifinals game to Argentina, settling for the bronze medal.

The team brought in Duke coach Mike Kryzewski, as well as stars like Kobe Bryant, to help right the ship in 2008.

Durant, the No. 2 pick in the 2007 draft, had just finished his rookie season. He was just shy of his 20th birthday that summer. He previously shared that he felt he was snubbed by the team due to his youth and inexperience.
