LOS ANGELES - After a wide ranging interview with GQ Mexico made soccer superstar Carlos Vela the cover story, the Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC) player admitted that he much prefers reading GQ interviews with NBA stars like LeBron James, Ben Simmons and Russell Westbrook.

“I do not like reading interviews with myself or soccer stars that much,” stated Vela to The Nutmeg News. “I much prefer reading interviews from major NBA stars. That’s where I find my enjoyment.”

Vela admitted that he barely reads anything about himself or any other soccer star.

“It’s my job, so I like to separate my job from my enjoyment. I really like watching basketball and I like reading about basketball. Did you SEE that Russel Westbrook interview in GQ Middle East? It was great.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Vela starts another season of NBA 2k11 with his own playable character.
