Oshoala is known for her football prowess, but she has never hidden her love for other sports like tennis and basketball. In fact, after she left Barcelona for US-based side Bay FC she shared pictures of herself at NBA games.

Oshoala also shared pictures of herself with Milwaukee Bucks brothers Giannis and Thanasis Antetokoumpo. The 29-year-old has also frequently shared pictures of Carlos Alcaraz, indicating that she is a fan of the Spaniard tennis star.

In a recent development, Oshoala has revealed that she loves LeBron James. However, it is not just because of his legendary status. It is due to his impact outside basketball.

“I love LeBron James. I like to see people have an impact outside their sport, and that’s what I see in LeBron,” Oshoala told FIFA.com.

“He has a foundation, he’s built a school. These are things that are even bigger than basketball. That’s why he’s my favourite player.”

LeBron is widely regarded as the greatest-ever basketball player. He has won four NBA rings and has made the all-star team 20 times. He is the all-time leading scorer in the NBA and is fourth on the all-time assists charts.
