LeBron James of the NBA is now proudly wearing a WWE championship belt, thanks to The Rock. The King tweeted last December about how he wanted one, and the wrestler promptly obliged.

In his tweet, James said, "Who do i need to talk to to get one of those World Championship Belt? WWE belt. The real ones."

The Rock - who is an eight-time WWE champion and two-time WCW champion - replied, "Got your back. I'll take care of it tomorrow and hit ya back off line. Done."

The NBA star was thrilled, and tweeted, "@TheRock Oh Wow man! Thanks so much. U have no idea how much I'll cherish it. #BeenAWrestlingFanForever #HadDreamsOfWearingThatBeltToTheRing"

It took a while, but King James finally got his wish. He posted a video of him on Instagram wearing the belt and saying The Rock's famous line, "Can you smell what The Rock is cooking?" He added the caption, "Special thanks to @therock for making my childhood dream come true! U have no idea how many couches and old mattresses I jumped off thinking I was one of y'all! U, Ultimate Warrior, Sting, Legion of Doom, Goldberg and The Undertaker I could watch all day plus many more! I feel like a little kid again. Thanks again Champ! #CanUSmell #StriveForGreatness"

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson wasn't the only one who answered the Miami Heat forward's call. John Cena, who has one 11 WWE championships, also tweeted James. He posted a video via Tout with the caption, "A special message for @KingJames. Watch it. I can help with that title!"

In the video, Cena said, "Hey LeBron James. This is WWE superstar John Cena. It's cold, I'm in the middle of nowhere, but I can still get you a WWE championship. Tweet me back and I'll handle it." It is unknown however, whether Cena has heard from James.
