LeBron James is looking to Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to help him in the Lakers' Madden NFL 20 Tournament.

James posted a photo of the hand-written standings of his teammates who are in the video game league.

Quinn Cook is first place with a perfect record of 6-0, while James is in second place. James’ team is 5-1, but he’ll have Brady, Rob Gronkowski and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the next matchup.

For sure!!! Team tough. Need that Madden 21 though ASAP in this bubble. 👑👀 https://t.co/YVdUTrG3p8

James also retweeted the EA Madden NFL’s post about his next matchup, which referred to James getting to use Brady as quarterback this week: “The 👑 playing with The 🐐‼️@Buccaneers 👀”

James then took the opportunity to see if he could get an advance copy of the new Madden NFL 21 video game in the NBA’s bubble in Orlando.

James tweeted: “For sure!!! Team tough. Need that Madden 21 though ASAP in this bubble. 👑👀”

EA responded: “Got you 👊”

That, of course, elicited plenty of responses from EA fans also asking for copies of the new game.

Dion Waiters, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Anthony Davis, Talen Horton-Tucker, Cook, Markieff Morris and Jared Dudley are also in the league with James.

Rookie guard Horton-Tucker could use some help, as he’s 0-6. Cook leads the West division standings at 6-0 while James is second at 5-1. Waiters, who is listed as Cheese (an ode to his hometown of Philadelphia), is tied for the lead in the East standings with Morris at 4-2.
