Sione Takitaki reacts to LeBron’s tweet about him: ‘This is lit!’

The Cleveland Browns linebacker who had a game-sealing interception was juiced about his shoutout from LeBron James on Sunday.

One of the benefits to playing on one of the favorite sports teams of LeBron James is that anytime you make a big play, it’s very possible that you’ll get a shout out that immediately increases your name recognition and also creates a thrill that many will remember forever. During Sunday night’s stunning playoff victory by the Cleveland Browns, it was Browns linebacker Sione Takitaki’s time for a royal shout out. Takitaki’s interception in the 4th quarter put the game away and got a major reaction out of LeBron during the game. Once Takitaki got to social media and saw it, his reaction was even better, with pure elation that LeBron James gave him a shoutout.

Takitaki and the Browns are now getting ready to face off against the defending Super Bowl champions, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, Sunday at 3:05 p.m. ET. Luckily for James, unlike last week, he won’t have a game conflicting with being able to give his full attention to the Browns’ biggest playoff game in over 25 years.
