LeBron James shows love to Eagles’ WR duo after viral touchdown celebration

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver duo A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith had LeBron James' full attention following a unique and memorable touchdown celebration. 

The Eagles wideouts teamed up for a third-quarter moment that was a tip of the cap to former Miami Heat teammates James and Dwyane Wade, as Brown and Smith re-enacted the iconic moment of the NBA star's alley-oop.

It was impressive and certainly unique by Brown and Smith. But beyond that, it also received the approval of James himself. The Los Angeles Lakers star took to Instagram to offer up a side-by-side look at the two photos and give Brown and Smith some love, while also tagging Dwyane Wade, of course.

James and Wade won two titles together, following one of the NBA's most memorable creations of a "big three" in history, as Chris Bosh joined James in signing with the Heat during 2010 NBA free agency.

And for good measure, the Eagles' two third-quarter touchdowns by Brown and Smith proved to be the difference in Sunday's NFC East matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, as the team went on to a 28-23 victory.
