The Cleveland Browns got their man on Thursday night in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft when they traded up with the Philadelphia Eagles to select Johnny Manziel with the 22nd overall pick.

Once the selection was made, the city of Cleveland erupted with adulation as they now have their city’s biggest superstar in quite some time. Well, they have their biggest superstar since a man named LeBron James graced the court for the Cleveland Cavaliers before heading off to the Miami Heat to win two NBA championships.

Just because James left his home state, though, that doesn’t mean that he stopped being a Cleveland Browns supporter, and now he’s more excited than ever that his buddy and Nike mate Manziel will be running the show for the team.

And LeBron wasted no time in showing that by already sporting a Browns jersey with Manziel’s name on the back.

Oh, this is gold for people that love to bash on both LeBron and Johnny Football. This is even bigger for the people that believe James turned his back on the entire city, but hey, Nike multi-millionaire bros have to stick together.
