LeBron James was super hyped on DeAndre Hopkins’ epic game-winning TD

While LeBron James made no public comments about the moves his team is reportedly making ahead of the upcoming season and free-agent period, James was enjoying a free fall Sunday while he still has them, as NBA training camps are expected to start in about two weeks. And nothing got LeBron out of his seat more than the play of the day by his pal, Arizona Cardinals receiver DeAndre Hopkins.

With two seconds left in Sunday afternoon’s game against the Buffalo Bills, Hopkins pulled down a 43-yard bomb from Kyler Murray over three Bills defenders to help the Cardinals pull off the upset and move to 6-3, good enough for first place in the NFC West. According to LeBron, Hopkins is a different dude.

Hopkins has been a stud all season long and has helped the Cardinals surpass many expectations as they sit atop their division. Hopkins was a guest on an episode of ‘The Shop’ last year.
