LeBron James Sends Message to Justin Jefferson After Viral Touchdown Celebration

   

Justin Jefferson played a key role on Monday as he helped the Minnesota Vikings secure a dominant 30-12 win over the Chicago Bears. The Vikings were the home team in that one, and they just had to make sure that there weren't going to be any upsets at U.S. Bank Stadium on "Monday Night Football."

Jefferson caught seven passes on the evening for 73 yards. He scored one touchdown, which prompted a pretty epic celebration from the All-Pro wide receiver. 

On top of his usual "Griddy" celebration, Jefferson also incorporated LeBron James' silencer celly in what turned out to be an eye-catching inter-sport crossover. 

The Vikings' post blew up online and has amassed more than 4.3 million views as of writing. It also caught the attention of the Los Angeles Lakers superstar himself, who had a special message for Jefferson. 

"This went so CRAZY!!!!!! Jetts ✈️ to DOPE! 🫡 Young 👑" LeBron wrote on X. 

James will be celebrating when the Lakers get their next win. They are coming off a 116-110 victory against Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday, with LeBron returning after a two-game injury absence (sore left foot).

The NBA's all-time leading scorer logged 18 points in his return while also adding eight rebounds, eight assists, two blocks, and a steal in 34 minutes of action. 

The Lakers are on a four-day break, but they will be back in action on Thursday against the Sacramento Kings.
