The old adage has always been that “it’s great to be the King.”
However, for some, it is great simply to be around and next to the king—as would be evident by being teammates of King James. He has helped in leading his team to three-straight NBA Finals and two-straight NBA championships.
He is a benevolent king.
Not only does Miami Heat star LeBron James get great gifts for himself, he rewards his team with great gifts of their own. Wednesday afternoon he graciously gifted his team with championship belts (courtesy of World Wrestling Entertainment).

This love affair between the four-time NBA MVP and the WWE began near the end of December, shortly after Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy won the NFL rushing title and was gifted with a World Heavyweight Championship belt by a friend, LeBron James took to Twitter to ask for a title belt of his own.
Who do i need to talk to to get one of those World Championship Belt? WWE belt. The real ones

His wish was granted after Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson vowed to help him get one. James was greatly appreciative of the gesture.
@KingJames Got your back. I’ll take care of it tomorrow and hit ya back off line. Done.
— Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) December 30, 2013
Having been able to pay the gift of the WWE forward, James made sure to give thanks to WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon Levesque.
Wanna thank @StephMcMahon for her help with the gifts I gave my guys today! You’re awesome!! #WWENetwork #Excitement #StriveForGreatness — LeBron James (@KingJames) February 26, 2014
