LeBron James Reacts to Viral Saquon Barkley Video, Praises 'Selfless' Eagles Star
LeBron James is a fan of Saquon Barkley's decision to give the Philadelphia Eagles' young running backs the opportunity to shine during Sunday's win over the New York Giants.
"LOVE IT!!!!! Selfless at its FINEST!" James wrote over a video of Barkley on his Instagram story on Tuesday.
The video shows Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni telling Barkley he is 13 rushing yards away from setting a career high in the category against his former team.

"I would love for you to get that, but that's up to you," Sirianni told Barkley. "I'm gonna take out all the starters if they don't score."
The running back responded: "You good. Let them eat. I'm good. I promise... I'd rather see the young boys eat."
Barkley finished out the 28-3 blowout win with 17 carries for 176 yards and a touchdown. His decision to stay out allowed RB2 Kenneth Gainwell to record a season-high 13 carries for 56 yards.
This isn't the first time James has shouted out Barkley. He previously worked out in a shirt with the running back's face on it in 2021, ahead of Barkley's fourth season with the Giants.
Barkley has now left New York, but his apparent focus on his current team rather than proving himself to his former franchise was enough to earn him more praise from the Los Angeles Lakers star.
