LeBron James reacts to Derrick Henry imitating his celebration

James and Henry represent the “King” nickname quite well.

There’s one thing clear between Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James and Tennessee Titans star running back, Derrick Henry: they have plenty of respect for one another.

Henry and James have plenty in common, as both are nicknamed “King” and they each reign supreme over their respective sports.

Henry showed proof of his dominance once again in Week 14 with 215 yards and two scores, and James is fresh off his fourth NBA Finals victory, his first with the Lakers.

After one of Henry’s two scores on Sunday, the NFL’s “King” paid homage to the NBA’s “King” by imitating James’ infamous celebration. In case you missed it, here’s another look (the celebration starts at 10 seconds):

James liked what he saw, as evidenced by this post from him on Instagram:

Like James, Henry is doing a great job living up to his name.

The Alabama product is on pace to smash his career-high in rushing yards and is on his way to winning his second consecutive rushing crown, which hasn’t been done since 2006-07.

Furthermore, Henry made NFL history on Sunday. His 200-yard, two-touchdown performance was the fourth of his career, breaking a tie with Hall of Famers Barry Sanders, Jim Brown and LaDainian Tomlinson.
