Which is every NBA superstars' favorite NFL teams? Finding out more
As pro athletes, NBA players are big fans of other sports outside the world of basketball. A large majority of players have a big interest in the NFL as well.
Basketball and football players are always interlinking. Especially when it comes to being on the sidelines for big games. NFL stars can constantly been seen sitting courtside at games, and the same goes for NBA players on football Sundays.
Some guys might prefer to keep their favorite squads hidden, but some are proud of their fandom. Here are some instances where basketball stars have not been shy about who they root for in the NFL.
5 NBA stars who have a clear favorite NFL team:
1) Steph Curry: Carolina Panthers
Kicking off this list is Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry. Despite being born in Ohio, his NFL squad is the Carolina Panthers.
This is likely because Curry grew up in North Carolina after being born in Akron. His father, Dell Curry, spent a good piece of his NBA career with the Charlotte Hornets. Over the years, Curry has shown a lot of love to the Panthers.
2) Anthony Davis: Green Bay Packers
Another big-name player who doesn't root for their hometown team is Anthony Davis. He is a native of Chicago, but his NFL loyalty is with the Green Bay Packers.

4) LeBron James: Dallas Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys are one of the most notable NFL teams, and basketball's biggest star is a fan of them. Among the many NBA players that root for them is LeBron James.
