Although LeBron could have been a little bit more elaborate in terms of sending out a complimentary message, the flurry of emojis with the tweet has made his feelings and sense of elation quite clear. It is also quite possible that he is happy for his former teammate considering that they never managed to win a championship together when on the Lakers.
