The Los Angeles Rams are off to a strong start to the 2018 season, and LeBron James could't help but acknowledge Todd Gurley and his success.
This has seen them elevated to being one of the biggest talking points in Los Angeles behind their large amount of success on the field over the last two seasons. James took to social media to agree that running back Todd Gurley and the Rams are currently the toast of the city at the moment.

The Rams have continued to move in the right direction with each passing week largely behind the stellar play of their offense that has been among the most explosive in the league. It has seen Gurley take his level of production to the next level following an impressive 2017 campaign that saw him earn the NFL Offensive Player of the Year award. He currently leads the league with 623 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns that is apart of 870 total yards from scrimmage with 11 total touchdowns.
This was taken the next level after a career-best 208 rushing yards and two touchdowns against the Denver Broncos that has put him on pace to post 2,320 total scrimmage yards and 29 total touchdowns, which would put him in the same company as Hall of Famer LaDainian Tomlinson as the only other player to achieve that feat in a single season. According to the voice of the Rams' radio broadcast team J.B. Long, his 11 total touchdowns are much or more than the Dallas Cowboys, Washington Redskins, Arizona Cardinals, New York Giants, Oakland Raiders, Buffalo Bills, and Tennessee Titans through the first six games played.
Simply put, Gurley has been the driving force for the Rams' explosive offense that has not only put him in the conversation for the MVP award but also his team in the hunt to be a legitimate threat to compete for the Super Bowl. LeBron James may be from Cleveland, but he recognizes potential when he sees it.
