Christian Pulisic Called The 'LeBron James Of Soccer' In Hilarious Viral Pawn Stars Clip

Christian Pulisic was compared to LeBron James, in a clip from television show Prawn Stars, and everyone is finding the suggestion hilarious.

Pulisic is an extremely talented forward, and one of the best players America has ever produced in football, but it's fair to say he's not one of the best players in the world.

However, on American tv show Pawn Stars, a reality tv programme about a pawn shop, the 24-year-old was made out to be one of football's all time greats.

A fan bought in a signed Chelsea shirt into the shop and, during the valuation, Pulisic is compared to LeBron, considered by some as the greatest player in NBA history, called the 'phenom,' claimed he's "one of the top players in the Premier League" and even the 'expert' compares the 24-year-old to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

The clip has gone viral and it really has to be seen to be believed.

As well as the 'incredible' comparisons that the former Borussia Dortmund player has somehow attracted, the fan somehow thinks Pulisic is a central midfielder.

It definitely feels like none of the men in the video have ever seen a game of football and they just want to celebrate an American soccer player.

You can understand why the reaction is one of utter bemusement from people who have actually seen football before.

Things haven't really worked out for the USA star at Stamford Bridge with the winger being linked with a move to Saudi Arabia with several of his team-mates.

It remains to be seen whether new Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino decides to give him a chance next season but a move away might be just what he needs to reignite his club career.
