LeBron James' WWE championship belt fixation isn't over. The Miami Heat player got a WWE championship belt from The Rock and now he has given his teammates their own.
James surprised his Miami Heat teammates on Wednesday by giving them all WWE championship belts. The King excitedly posted a photo on Instagram of him and his basketball buddies showing off their wrestling treasures. The caption said, "Always wanted to be the WWE Heavyweight World Champion so today I surprised my teammates with their own for their collection. And by the way it's a Great time to be a @WWE fan with the launch of the #WWENetwork #LoveMyTeammates #WWEStandOutAsAKid #StriveForGreatness."
The NBA star also thanked WWE Chief Brand Office Steph McMahon for her help with the gift. In exchange, he lent a hand in promoting the new WWE Network. His tweet after the photo said, "Wanna thank @StephMcMahon for her help with the gifts I gave my guys today! You're awesome!! #WWENetwork #Excitement #StriveForGreatness."
His teammates were quite appreciative. Dwayne Wade tweeted, "#MyHeatles #MyHeatles...kingjames w yet another great gift for his teammates..#LMT #wejustdifferent." It accompanied an Instagram photo of another picture of the Miami Heat guys showing off their belts.
James' obsession with the WWE championship belt started when he posted on his Twitter account about wanting one. He tweeted, "Who do I need to talk to to get one of those World Championship Belt? WWE belt. The real ones."
Eight-time WWE champion and two-time WCW champion Dwayne Johnson, also known as The Rock, replied. "Got your back. I'll take care of it tomorrow and hit ya back off line. Done," the wrestler tweeted.
James was over the moon when he finally got the belt. He replied with a very happy video, saying The Rock's famous line, "Can you smell what The Rock is cooking?" It was also accompanied by a caption with a long message to his WWE benefactor. "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."
