Who the best football player on the planet? it may be up for dispute, but CR7’s supremacy over the rest of the footballing world on Instagram is not!

- LeBron James
If you have watched LeBron James on the basketball court, you must be aware that his game is multidimensional.
He can drive to the hoop like a freight train, but he also has wondrous passing skills which helped him to appear in five consecutive NBA Finals!
His Instagram posts and stories are multidimensional as well. From his famous weight room dancing, working out, smoking a cigar to sipping wine in his driveway.
But whenever you see an Instagram Story from him pop up, you know it’ll be something entertaining!
The best thing about him is that he acts goofy and lets loose, and that’s what makes his Instagram great. It all feels genuine and unscripted.
