Everyone seemed to jump in the celebration Friday when former President Barack Obama turned 56 years old, and social media flooded his page with lots of love from all around the world.

It was special enough to get the attention of Cavs star LeBron James, who also sent his well wishes and love to the POTUS on Twitter.

James has high respect for Obama who also happens to love basketball quite a bit, and unabashedly supports his home town Chicago Bulls.

Players seem to like that about him and even found time to get together for a few scrimmages, but it’s even more personal for James who also sent a farewell message earlier this year commending the former president for his work in office.
