Usain Bolt silencer

LeBron James shared some love with Usain Bolt after the Jamaican sprinter gave a tribute to the NBA icon following his gold medal run at the 200m sprint in the Olympics on Thursday night.

Bolt won the 200m for the third time at the Olympics, posting a time of 19.78. After capturing the gold medal, he pressed the volume down with his hands, a move done by James called “the silencer.”

James saw the video clip and sent a tweet about it:

Bolt with "The Silencer" boi. I see you homie!!https://t.co/E0Vjlpa9uy

James does the silencer after making big plays in the NBA, and that’s exactly what Bolt did after winning his gold. That’s quite a nod to the reigning NBA Finals MVP.

Of course, Bolt already has a signature celebration, and he did it like usual:
