LeBron James was asked to name his favourite football players and listed several, but didn't include Lionel Messi on his list.

He instead named some of the other top players in the world, plus the Liverpool shareholder picked the entire Reds team too.

"I've got a few," he replied when asked about who he thought the best football players were during an Instagram Live question and answer session.

"First of all, every player on Liverpool.

"[Kylian] Mbappe, Neymar, Cristiano Ronaldo...

"Those guys are legends, I love those guys.

"I love Cristiano Ronaldo, I love Neymar, I love Mbappe."

When the basketball superstar asked around in the room for other answers, Messi was quickly suggested.

"Messi, for sure," he admitted.

"Lionel Messi, legend."

He also mentioned Zlatan Ibrahimovic, joking about how crazy the Swede is.
