Al-Nassr captain, Cristiano Ronaldo has named his former Real Madrid teammate Luka Modric, alongside Basketball icon LeBron James and Tennis icon Novak Djokovic, as the athletes who inspire him the most.
The Portugal forward spoke during a recent interview with UK TV personality Piers Morgan.
The 40-year-old was asked to name the athletes who motivated him as a footballer.
Responding, Ronaldo started by naming James as he insisted that the LA Lakers star was almost his age and still performing well in the NBA.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner then named Modric and Djokovic, respectively.
Ronaldo said: “In basketball, LeBron James, I think we are the same age, I have more hair than him.
“But I think he is good because he still plays basketball and is in good shape.
“Modric, still looking good, Djokovic as well,” he added.
