LeBron James is in awe of Aaron Rodgers.
While NFL fans around the world are trying to figure out how the New York Jets quarterback is recovering so quickly from a serious injury, the King of the NBA simply paid tribute to “A-Rod” on Wednesday night, praising him as Superman.

“Wow!!! Unbelievable!! Back where he belongs!” James tweeted.
Rodgers shocked fans by returning to training 11 weeks after tearing his Achilles tendon.
It’s uncertain whether the NFL’s version of A-Rod will lead the Jets again this season.
New York is 4-7 and plays in the AFC East, topped by the 8-3 Miami Dolphins.
But part of the reason Rodgers is back in practice is because one of the best quarterbacks in the game has gone to great lengths to prove the critics and haters wrong.
Rodgers remained in the spotlight and continued to tease that he would officially return in 2023, though he only played four games before being deemed lost for the season.
The sight of Rodgers throwing passes while wearing a Jets helmet left fans stunned.
It also impressed James, who used multiple emojis to express his awe at Rodgers’ super-fast healing ability.
James is waging his own battle against time.
The NBA’s all-time scoring and minutes leader is now the league’s oldest player, officially at 38, as he attempts to lead the Los Angeles Lakers back to the Finals.
Rodgers was supposed to turn the Jets into a Super Bowl contender this year after being forced to trade them to New York.
Now, having Rodgers back on the field would be a huge win for A-Rod and the Jets.
James is already shocked that Rodgers is throwing the football again in 2023 practices.
