Zlatan boasts 'I could play with LeBron without a problem'

LA Galaxy striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic reckons his skills are transferable to basketball and he could play with Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James "without a problem".

James has joined Ibrahimovic in LA following his switch from the Cleveland Cavaliers and the former Barcelona, Manchester United and Sweden man is relishing the prospect of watching the NBA forward in action.

Ibrahimovic even claimed the pair moved in a similar fashion, like "small ninjas".

In an interview with ESPN's 'Pardon the Interruption', Ibrahimovic said: "I think of course I will see him play basket. I don't know if he's interested in soccer, even though soccer is bigger than basket with all the respect for basket.
