Move over, King James—there's a new LeBron James in town, and he's trading basketball courts for javelin runways.

At the NJCAA National Championships on Thursday, a sophomore from New Mexico Junior College named LeBron James did something that would make his famous namesake proud: he became a national champion. But this LeBron isn't dunking on defenders—he's launching javelins into orbit.

The Trinidad and Tobago native unleashed a record-breaking throw of 255 feet and 7 inches on his third attempt, absolutely demolishing the competition. To put that in perspective, he finished more than 24 feet ahead of the second-place finisher (who, unsurprisingly, doesn't share a name with one of the most recognizable athletes on the planet).

That's the kind of distance that would have placed him third at each of the last three NCAA Division I track and field championships. Translation? Elite programs like Arkansas, USC, Texas A&M, Florida, or LSU are probably already dialing his number. With two years of eligibility remaining, this LeBron isn't just a great thrower—he's a marketing goldmine who makes headlines simply by existing.

And in a delightfully ironic twist, his favorite athlete is... LeBron James. But not that LeBron James. He's a fan of LeBron James Jr.—better known as "Bronny"—the Lakers guard who averages 2.7 points per game. Talk about choosing your heroes wisely.

Born around the time the original LeBron was making his third All-NBA First Team appearance, this javelin sensation is proving that greatness comes in many forms. Whether he's soaring past the competition at future NCAA championships or, perhaps one day, on the Olympic stage, one thing is certain: we'll be doing double takes for years to come.

So while you might not find this LeBron James on a basketball court, you'll definitely want to keep an eye on the field. After all, the best throws are yet to come.
