In case you hadn't heard, Carlos Hyde put on quite a show on Monday Night Football in the San Francisco 49ers' 20-3 victory over Adrian Peterson and the Minnesota Vikings.

Hyde ran for 168 yards and two touchdowns against the Vikings, but made headlines thanks to this Braxton Miller-like spin move he made in the second quarter.

Miller definitely took notice and paid his respects to Hyde's run with this tweet, but Miller wasn't the only athlete to reach out to the former Ohio State running back. According to an interview with 49ers.com, Cleveland Cavaliers superstar and diehard Ohio State fan LeBron James also reached out to the man they call El Guapo. 

“I heard from LeBron James. Me and LeBron have the same trainer, David Alexander, down in Miami,” Hyde told 49ers.com. “After the game I FaceTime'd LeBron and my trainer. They were super hyped.”

What exactly did King James say to Hyde?

“He was just saying, ‘That’s what I’m talking about. Good stuff man, keep it up,’” Hyde said.

Long live El Guapo. And long live King James.
