Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford got a massive treat from Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James, who put on a big show against the Golden State Warriors on Saturday night.
Matthew, who was in attendance in the game with his wife Kelly Stafford, was left in awe of LeBron after he carried the Lakers on his shoulders to keep them in the game and eventually take the W. The King took over in the fourth quarter with both teams neck-and-neck, draining three straight triples to put the Purple and Gold ahead for good.

That tie-breaking 3-pointer particularly impressed Matthew Stafford, who couldn't help but smile at the greatness he just witnessed. Stafford himself understands what it means to be clutch, as he did so for the Rams in Super Bowl 56, but what LeBron displayed for the Lakers against the Warriors is definitely on another level.

Making things even better? LeBron told Stafford that he couldn't have him in the building without putting on a show! Certainly, James lived up to his words.
The Lakers superstar finished with 56 points on top of 10 rebounds and three assists to get the 124-116 victory. It broke the team's four-game skid and kept them with a firm grasp of the ninth seed for the play-in spot.
It remains to be seen if LeBron can replicate such massive performance, but maybe it'll help if Stafford will be in attendance in their remaining home games so James can put on another show for him?
