LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers tweeted a response after New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley scored a touchdown against the Cowboys in the third quarter of Monday night’s game.

“SAQUON IS BACK!!!!!!” James wrote in capital letters.

Unfortunately for Giants supporters, any joy following Barkley’s touchdown was unwarranted. The Cowboys, though, continued to suppress the Giants and ultimately prevailed 23-16.
DeMarcus Lawrence, a defensive star for Dallas, later discovered James’ tweet.
Lawrence replied with “L.”

Lawrence has earned the right to indulge in a little self-gratification. He was a two-time Pro Bowler and an All-Pro for the Cowboys in 2017. On Monday night, he set the tone for the Dallas defense by sacking Giants quarterback Daniel Jones three times in a major way.
Lawrence’s remark about James probably didn’t hurt all that much. After all, James is a fickle NFL supporter who has even been known to support the Cowboys in the past.
