Cleveland sports fans had all sorts of priceless reactions after internet detectives found a bizarre coincidence involving LeBron James and Shedeur Sanders.
On Tuesday, news broke that the Cleveland Browns’ rookie quarterback was issued a speeding ticket by just before 12:30 a.m. Shedeur Sanders was clocked going 101 MPH in a zone with a 60 MPH speed limit in his Dodge Ram TRX on Interstate 71, per WKYC.com.
Incredibly, Sanders isn’t the only notable Cleveland athlete to receive a ticket for speeding at exactly 101 MPH. On Interstate 71. On his 23rd birthday.
Social media detectives pulled up an old news story from January 2008 about LeBron James getting a ticket for speeding at 101 MPH on Interstate 71, when he was celebrating his 23rd birthday. James was with the Cleveland Cavaliers at the time:
12/30/07: LeBron James, age 23, was cited for going 101 mph by law enforcement
6/18/25: Shedeur Sanders, age 23, was cited for going 101 mph by law enforcement

If Shedeur Sanders can bring a fraction of the excitement LeBron James delivered for Cleveland, the Browns will be in good hands. A 10-time All-Star with the organization, James led the Cavs to five NBA Finals appearances and to their first championship in 2016.
