LeBron James received perhaps his greatest endorsement after Sunday's loss to the Chicago Bulls. 

Even in defeat, James still received some love from professional wrestler Ric Flair. He took to Twitter to show how much he enjoys watching James play the game of basketball. 

Like James, Flair is considered among the greatest in his profession. 

."@KingJames I’m Your Biggest Fan, Actually A Mark For You!!," Flair tweeted. "The Greatest Ever So Help Me God! Even In A Loss, You Now And Forever Will Be THE MAN!! And Yes, I’m Rolex Wearing! WOOOOO!"

The Lakers lost in James' first appearance since missing 13 games because of a foot injury. He finished with 19 points, eight rebounds and three assists. The Lakers are in danger of missing the playoffs for a second straight year. They are in the No. 9 spot in the Western Conference standings.
