After LeBron James dropped 56 points on the Golden State Warriors on Saturday, Jayson Tatum decided to score 54 points the next day against Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets. The Los Angeles Lakers star was impressed.

Tatum posted a picture on his Instagram and James was quick to give a shoutout to the young star:

Tatum was dominant going against the likes of Kyrie Irving and Durant, shooting 16-of-30 from the field and 8-15 from behind the 3-point line. It was the fourth 50-point regular-season game of his young career, which has him tied with Larry Bird for the most in Celtics history.

James' performance against the Warriors was the best of his Lakers career. He carried the team on his back and helped them overcome a 14-point deficit.

It was a vintage performance from the future first-ballot Hall of Famer. He showed that he can still dominate the court if he so pleases. The performance was the 13th 50-point game of his career.

The Lakers star joined elite company as he became the oldest player in NBA history to register 55-plus points and 10-plus rebounds in a game. Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Jamal Crawford are the only players past the age of 37 to score 50 or more points in a game.

The King also joined Wilt Chamberlain as the only two players in league history to score 55-plus points for multiple franchises, according to ESPN Stats & Information.

LeBron and the Lakers still have a long way to go. They are 28-35 and are currently sitting in ninth place in the Western Conference. Meanwhile, Tatum's Celtics are on a roll, getting to 39-27 and fifth place in the Eastern Conference after starting out slow this season.
