After the partnership has been publicized, the two global icons applauded each other and shared what they think of the collaboration.
The 22-year-old French footballer said that he has the greatest respect for the Los Angeles Lakers superstar on and off the court. He also spoke about how LeBron has been an inspiration throughout his career.
"From Akron to Paris, we are both taking action to move the lines in our society and offer a better world to the younger generation," he added, per HypeBeast. "I truly hope our common message will have a strong social impact and this is just the beginning of our stories."
LeBron, on the other hand, expressed his desire to be more than just an athlete.
In the same report by HypeBeast, the 36-year-old Chosen One pledged that no matter where he goes in the world, he will remain proud that he is a kid from Arkon.
Furthermore, he promised to use his platform to empower and uplift those children who have been looking up to him.
