Singer Hilary Duff was in Philadelphia this past weekend for a concert and she decided to give a little shoutout to Philly's new favorite athlete, LeBron James.
At one point during her concert, Duff started talking to the crowd about her travels, saying that she's been to Florida, Los Angeles and now Philly. She joked that she was "starting to feel like LeBron," which drew a big roar from the crowd.
“We started in Florida, went to LA, we’ve ended up here… I’m starting to feel like LeBron!” Duff said.
Fans were pretty impressed that Duff knows so much about LeBron's career despite her not having any real association with sports:
"I'm sorry Hilary... I didn't know you had ball knowledge like that," one impressed user replied.
"Hilary Duff casually dropping a LeBron career path joke at her concert is the crossover we never knew we needed," another user wrote.
"She really pulled the LeBron comparison mid tour the travel schedule is getting legendary," wrote a third.
Not everyone loved it though:
"Hilary Duff skipping the entire Cleveland era and jumping straight to the Miami Heat big three and the Lakers transition is wild… NBA Twitter is about to pull up her career shooting percentages from the Lizzie McGuire era."
"My GOAT doesn’t know ball, Bron started in Cleveland."

LeBron's Journey
LeBron James left the Los Angeles Lakers after eight seasons to become a free agent. After a fairly drawn out process, he finally settled on joining the Philadelphia 76ers in order to join forces with Joel Embiid and Jaylen Brown.
The signing instantly turned the 76ers from a fringe playoff team into a legitimate Eastern Conference title contender.
If LeBron James can continue to be as solid as he's been since turning 40 and continuing to average over 20 points per game with fewer minutes, the 76ers will be dangerous at the least and a title contender if a few things break their way.
