LeBron puts stamp on Ohio State's athletic gear

Born in Akron and playing in Cleveland has made LeBron James a cult hero in the state of Ohio, and that status would have been further enhanced had he attended Ohio State.

The NBA legend jumped to the pros right out of high school, but has said on numerous occasions that he would have been a Buckeye if he attended college. He's often found on the sidelines of Ohio State football games, and his Nike line sponsors the basketball team.

That relationship has now extended across other areas of the athletic department, as the school released a video showing all the apparel from James' line with Nike on Wednesday.

In an interesting twist, Ohio State's rival Michigan is sponsored by Jordan, so now there's another reason to debate whether James has surpassed Michael Jordan as the best NBA player ever.
