"He'd be at 50 million in three days" - Adin Ross makes bold claim about LeBron James breaking Cristiano Ronaldo’s YouTube record

Kick streamer Adin Ross is no stranger to dishing out hot takes. His latest stream (August 27) saw him make a rather bold claim. Adin Ross believes that NBA athlete and Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James would get YouTube subscribers at a quicker rate than Cristiano Ronaldo. After creating his first channel on the platform, the Portuguese soccer legend is currently a topic of interest in the community.

Ronaldo officially launched his YouTube channel on August 21, 2024. In just a week, his subscriber count skyrocketed to a whopping 48 million. LeBron James too has a YouTube channel (L. James). However, he is inactive there, which explains the meager 64.6K subscriber count.

Adin Ross, who isn't the biggest soccer fan, expressed his adoration towards LeBron and claimed:

"I do wanna say something. Do you think if LeBron made a YouTube, he'd get 50 million (subscribers)? Guys, listen what I'm about to say, if LeBron James made a YouTube video tonight, he'd be at 50 million in three days. Facts. I'm sorry, but it's the truth."
