LeBron James may be widely regarded as the best NBA player of his generation. But that does not mean he would get special treatment from Ryan Day. On Monday, the Ohio State football coach appeared on “The Tonight Show” a week after leading his team to a national title.

Ohio State fans have complicated feelings toward Day, who has lost four straight to Michigan but is one win away from a national title.

Though he didn't go to Ohio State, LeBron James has become one of the most famous fans of the Buckeyes. The Los Angeles Lakers star didn't go to college but he grew up in Ohio and adopted Ohio State as his college football team of choice.

LeBron James agreed with head coach Ryan Day that he wouldn't get any special treatment if he joined the Buckeyes.

Ohio State football coach Ryan Day said LeBron James would have to earn his playing time with the Buckeyes in an interview with Jimmy Fallon.

As an Ohio native, LeBron James is a well-known Ohio State supporter. He even tweeted about possibly playing college football at one point, which was something brought up to Buckeyes coach Ryan Day when he appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon this week.
