LeBron James might well be the best athlete in any sport on the entire planet but if it comes to a rap battle, we’re taking the two Irish lads.
While the Lions tour brought us many, many great memories, a video shot on the Irish rugby tour of North America was definitely the most viral rugby story of the summer.
Simon Zebo and Paddy Jackson’s perfect lip-synching of Jay-Z and Kanye’s Otis was an instant sensation when it hit the net and now the great LeBron James tries to follow in their considerably large footsteps.
Audio has appeared online of James freestyle rapping over Jay-Z and Kanye’s classic N***** in Paris and while we’ve heard worse, we’ve heard an awful lot better too.

Okay, the Irish lads were only miming, but we saw Zebo break out a bit of freestyling of his own in another video, shot in Australia during the Lions tour so we have no doubt the Irish duo could easily take down King James in a rap battle.
