Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James knows a thing or two about making great passes. Getting the seal of approval from the man with the 8th most assists in NBA history is always a good thing – even if it's from a different sport.

LeBron James had to give it up for the dynamic Kansas City Chiefs duo of Patrick Mahomes and Tyreek Hill. The former NFL MVP threw an absolute dime of a pass to his star receiver for a touchdown.

The connection clearly impressed the Lakers star, who took to Twitter just to show his appreciation.

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are coming off a season that left a bitter taste in their mouths. They got all the way to the Super Bowl after winning it all the previous year, only to get demolished by Tom Brady and his Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers are in a pretty similar situation. Their season post-championship ended in disappointment. But this is a new season, and another chance to redeem themselves from postseason disappointment.

Patrick Mahomes and LeBron James are both on a warpath back to a title. For the Chiefs, their comeback season is just about to begin. For the Lakers, it can't come soon enough.
