James gave a clear and agreeable reason why he would have loved to play with the legend. James is one of the best crossers of the ball right now, while Drogba was powerful with his head.

James also waded into the GOAT debate and picked Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo over seven times Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi.
