Micah Parsons takes aim at LeBron James for ditching Cowboys, pleads Lakers star to "keep believing"
While Micah Parsons and LeBron James are at the top of their respective games, they are at different career arcs. James will be playing his 21st NBA season and his sixth with the Los Angeles Lakers. Meanwhile, Parsons is already a two-time All-Pro outside linebacker for the Dallas Cowboys.
But while dominating in different sports, they share the same passion for football, especially for the Cowboys. However, the former Penn State standout made a plea to the four-time NBA Most Valuable Player because he might have changed allegiances.
Micah Parsons tells LeBron James to stick with the Cowboys
During a recent alternate stream for Thursday Night Football, James said that he is switching NFL teams from the Dallas Cowboys to the Cleveland Browns. He was seen wearing Cowboys gear multiple times in the past. However, the Akron-born basketball icon is now rooting for his hometown team.
In this context, Micah Parsons made this plea in the recent video he made for Bleacher Report:
“It's kind of weird because LeBron also mentioned that he wasn't a Cowboys fan anymore, so we could take a look at that. So, you know, after LeBron's admitting that he's not a Cowboys fan.
"It's kind of weird to see him here. But you know, he used to be a Cowboys fan. Now he's a Cleveland fan. Come on, Bron. Stay true to who you want to be. When you want to be with Cowboys nation, come back bro. Like keep believing.”
Parsons recorded the latest episode of "The Edge" after the Cowboys defeated the Los Angeles Chargers in their Week 6 Monday Night Football showdown. He registered Dallas’ lone sack in the game, which helped seal a 20-17 victory.
It was a significant victory for the NFC East squad after a humiliating 42-10 defeat against the San Francisco 49ers. That game had some football fans questioning the Cowboys’ ability to compete with the NFL’s legitimate Super Bowl contenders.
Micah Parsons and the Cowboys looking to start another winning streak
The Cowboys will feel better going into their bye week at 4-2 instead of 3-3. That record keeps them in the hunt for their third consecutive playoff appearance. However, they will undergo a tough two-game stretch after their break.
The Los Angeles Rams are waiting for them in Week 8. The Super Bowl LVI champions are getting their bearings back after Cooper Kupp returned to action. Los Angeles’ NFC team has a 2-1 record in road games.
A week later, the Cowboys will face the Philadelphia Eagles for the first time this season. While the New York Jets delivered their first defeat this year, the Eagles remain a dangerous opponent, given their talent on both sides of the ball.
The Cowboys will need Micah Parsons and their defense to be at their A-game against both foes because they have offenses that can dominate games.
