LeBron James recently gave his stamp of approval to Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown for his memorable touchdown celebration during the 2025 Super Bowl. The Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22, and Brown’s performance, including a touchdown right before halftime, was a key moment.

After scoring, Brown decided to honor LeBron’s signature “silencer” move, which typically signals shutting down the opposition. The celebration instantly caught the attention of fans and the NBA superstar himself. LeBron shared his thoughts on Instagram, captioning a post: “Ayyyyyyyeeeeee AJ Brown, that Silencer was on point.”

LeBron, a known fan of the NFL, especially the Cleveland Browns, has frequently expressed his admiration for football. In fact, during the 2011 NBA lockout, he even considered pursuing a football career. During an appearance on the “New Heights” podcast hosted by NFL stars Jason and Travis Kelce, LeBron reflected on his dreams of playing in the NFL, admitting, “I was still young enough to get out there with y’all. That’s the only time I’ve seriously considered it.”

Although he never made the jump to football, LeBron continues to dominate on the basketball court, now in his 22nd NBA season. His continued success includes impressive performances like his 42-point game against the Golden State Warriors and maintaining his status as one of the league’s top players at 40 years old.
