Phillips told ESPN that he and his friends have been making videos for years, and their popularity is growing. They’ve been hit with other videos about James, and they’ve been shouted by other celebs, from the Baltimore Ravens Quarterback Lamar Jackson To rapper J Cole to actor Michael P. Jordan. But this took things to a new level.

“But the crazy thing about LeBron is we’re making videos of him … so when he did, I didn’t think it was real,” Phillips said. “We were actually in the middle of filming a YouTube video and we didn’t know he had tweeted it. My nephew FaceTim told me, and I was in shock.”

The approval of the king? This really deserves the direction.
