LeBron James' signature celebration was used by Philadelphia Eagles receiver A.J. Brown after he scored a touchdown against the Kansas City Chiefs during Super Bowl LIX on Sunday.

Unlike last year, when he went to Allegiant Stadium in Nevada to attend Super Bowl LVIII, James did not travel to Caesars Superdome in New Orleans for the Chiefs-Eagles showdown.

Still, the LA Lakers superstar monitored the action. Late in the second quarter, Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts connected with Brown for a 12-yard touchdown. Brown celebrated the play by bringing out James’ “Silencer” celebration.

James went on Instagram to react to the celebration:

LeBron James rolled out the “Silencer” celebration while he played for the Miami Heat in 2013. He scored a game-winning 3-pointer over Andre Iguodala to beat the Golden State Warriors 111-110. The four-time NBA MVP unretired the popular celebration in November last year.

The Eagles dominated the first half behind their defense and Hurts. Cooper DeJean intercepted Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes halfway through the second period and ran it for a pick-six. On the next drive, Zach Baun picked off the superstar quarterback. The Baun interception led to the drive that resulted in the Hurts-Brown touchdown and a 24-0 halftime lead.

LeBron James picked the Kansas City Chiefs to win

LeBron James revealed his prop bets a few days before Super Bowl LIX.

"It's hard to go against Mahomes, so I got the Chiefs winning the game.”

James also predicted that Patrick Mahomes would rush for at least 40 yards and that Jalen Hurts would throw for more than 200.

By the end of the third period, Hurts had piled up 201 yards in the air and 55 on the ground. The Eagles' defense kept Mahomes in the pocket and limited him to 11 rushing yards.

Philly lead 34-6 with a quarter left to play, so it seems like James picked the wrong team to win Super Bowl LIX.
