LeBron James and Aaron Donald are arguably the two biggest sports stars in Los Angeles at the moment. The Lakers forward and the Rams tackle shared a moment together after LA's come-from-behind win over the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night.

That's a legend hugging another legend right there. LeBron James was in full support of the Rams as he was seen having the time of his life in the SoFi stands during the Super Bowl. King James was asked about Aaron Donald after the Lakers win, and he dropped the GOAT claim on the 7-time All-Pro.
Via ClutchPoints' Michael Corvo:
“He’s the greatest defensive player I’ve ever seen play the sport…Before I started watching Aaron I always thought it was Ed Reed or Polamalu.”

LeBron said he would include Lawrence Taylor, but he never watched him play.

It's hard to argue against LeBron James' take, especially when you add a Super Bowl ring to Aaron Donald's lengthy resume. It's the final piece to what will go down as one of the greatest careers in NFL history and arguably the greatest defender of his generation.

LeBron James knows a thing or two about that as well. Despite a very up and down Lakers season, he'll try to carry his squad to another title and pad his own GOAT resume, just like he did in the closing minutes against the Jazz.
