What does the Alabama football team and LeBron James have in common? Championships – and notably in the same year as each other.
As was pointed out Monday on Reddit, James has never won an NBA title when the Crimson Tide didn’t win a national championship in football that same year.
Here’s the rundown of how things have looked in those years:
2011-2012: Alabama wins title, LeBron wins title

2013-2014: Alabama loses Sugar Bowl, LeBron loses Finals
2014-2015: Alabama loses College Football Playoff semifinals, LeBron loses Finals
2015-2016: Alabama wins title, LeBron wins Finals
