Fans Hail Baller League as the ‘Future’ Following Hilarious Debut Night Footage
Joleon Lescott, a two-time Premier League champion, has joined the ranks of the Baller League, marking a significant milestone for the league. The former England international, now aged 42, was unveiled as a wildcard pick for the team, Deportrio, during Week Two of the competition.
Lescott made his highly anticipated debut in the Baller League on Monday night, representing Deportrio in a match against N5 FC, a team managed by Arsenal legends Jens Lehmann, Robert Pires, and Freddie Ljungberg. His inclusion sparked excitement, even prompting a reaction from YouTube star KSI, who humorously remarked, “Lmao well then…”
With Lescott joining the squad, Deportrio now boasts a lineup that includes several former Premier League players, such as Marvin Sordell and Bakary Sako. However, Lescott’s extensive experience and track record may well position him as the most accomplished player in the entire Baller League.
The talented defender played a remarkable 235 matches for Wolverhampton Wanderers before transferring to Everton in 2006, where he made 143 appearances. His career reached new heights when he completed a £22 million move to Manchester City in 2009. During his time at the Etihad Stadium, Lescott featured in 160 games and played a crucial role in securing two Premier League titles, an FA Cup, and a Carabao Cup.
After his successful stint with City, the 26-time England international continued to showcase his skills at West Brom, Aston Villa, and AEK Athens, eventually concluding his playing career at Sunderland in 2017. Currently, he serves as a pundit for TNT Sports.
Fans were left in awe by Deportrio’s acquisition of Lescott, with many taking to social media to express their excitement. Comments included:
- “What a coup!”
- “Micah Richards pulling big punches.”
- “Flipping heck.”
- “Fair enough.”
The enthusiasm surrounding Lescott’s addition to the Baller League further emphasizes the league’s potential to captivate audiences and elevate the standard of play.
