Zlatan Ibrahimovic has not only made a name for himself on the football pitch.
He is also known for his cocky appearance outside the same.
Just take this as an example, when he put basketball icon LeBron James in place after arriving in the United States.
In addition to being a god-given football player has Zlatan Ibrahimovic as is well known, also made a name for himself off the field, and from an early age. The now 41-year-old Swede showed even as a child that he was not afraid of anyone, and his cocky antics have attracted mixed reactions throughout his long and successful career.
Beautiful move
Not unexpectedly, “Ibra” has left a big impression, to say the least, in all the clubs he has represented, and the Los Angeles Galaxy is no exception. Ibrahimovic joined the American club in 2018 after his time at Manchester United, and shortly after arriving in the US and Los Angeles, he set the bar straight away.

In a video on Tik Tok, the American comedian tells Andrew Schulz an anecdote about when Zlatan had just arrived. The basketball icon LeBron James then wanted to welcome the Swede to the USA, to which Zlatan responded in a way that only he can do.

“Want an autograph”
LeBron James, a regular with the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA, sent Ibrahimovic a game jersey as a welcome gift. A welcome gift that the vast majority of people would have waxed lyrical about. Zlatan received the shirt, then signed it and then sent it back to James.
– Isn’t that the greatest of “boss moves” you can imagine? LeBron sends you a game shirt, and Zlatan thinks “he must want an autograph,” comedian Andrew Schulz says in the clip.

Even on the pitch, it didn’t take long before Ibrahimovic took center stage. In his derby debut against Los Angeles FC, he came off the bench to score twice, and was instrumental in his side turning a 0–3 deficit into a 4–3 victory.
