Like most other teams in the NFL, the Jacksonville Jaguars have not been able to stop Tennessee Titans star running back Derrick Henry.
When Henry found the end zone with less than a minute left in the second quarter, he celebrated his dominance by channeling another player who has dominated another league with whom he also shares a nickname: Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James.
From one king to another:

Henry’s first touchdown of the game happened with 52 seconds left before the half, as he broke free and ran for a 36-yard touchdown to give Tennessee a 14-3 lead before he channeled his inner LeBron with his celebration.
The score gave Henry 15 carries for 122 rushing yards at the half, with the touchdown being his 13th of the season. Henry has only continued to gash the Jaguars in the second half, with a 47-yard run setting up yet another Titans touchdowns.
This certainly wasn’t the first time that an NFL player channeled James’ celebration, which he made popular during his time with the Miami Heat. New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton also did his own version of the four-time NBA champion’s celebration back when he was playing for the Carolina Panthers.
Henry and the Titans are well on their way to win No. 9 on the season.
