LeBron James Issues Major Challenge To Cam Newton After Madden Claim

The Madden debate is heating up rapidly. Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis made some bold claims about LeBron James and his Madden level.

Davis admitted that LeBron said he beat the 164th-best Madden player in the world, which is quite an accomplishment for the NBA star. In turn, former NFL quarterback Cam Newton fired back at LeBron, saying he would "crush" LeBron at the game.

Well, it was only a matter of time before LeBron James responded, and he did in an epic way: "Where I'm from, the next word is BET! LET'S GET IT!"

He also added "Tomorrow can be that day! LMK and we'll figure out a time."

Here was Newton's initial response to the LeBron-Madden talk:

Now, LeBron is calling out Cam Newton for a battle on the sticks.

That sure escalated quickly. With the Lakers in the offseason and Cam Newton not backing down, there could be a Madden battle between the two in the foreseeable future.

These two are playing each other and live streaming so that it would be quite a watch for avid gamers and sports fans. Only time will tell if it ends up happening.
