LeBron James gets a visit from his favorite football team's mascot.(DallasCowboys.com)

Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James, despite having grown up in Akron, Ohio, is a big fan of the Dallas Cowboys. You can often see James tweeting his thoughts (and frustrations) about the team during and after big games, and his Instagram account has a bunch of pictures of himself (and sometimes teammate J.R. Smith, a fellow Cowboys fan) in team gear. James has been to a few practices, and he was upset when Dallas passed on Johnny Manziel (that worked out pretty well for the Cowboys, though), and he even said "Go Aaron Rodgers" when asked about Washington's playoff game against Green Bay last weekend.

So when King James showed up in Dallas to play the Mavericks this week, his trainer (also a Cowboys fan) arranged for the Cowboys' mascot, Rowdy, to surprise LeBron in his hotel room. Here's how it went down, via the Cowboys' official web site:

So we have Rowdy sneaking into LeBron's room, hanging with LeBron's trainer, and getting stretched on the table while waiting for LeBron to enter. LeBron comes in, bursts into hysterical laughter as the sight in front of him, he and Rowdy share a hand shake, Rowdy does LeBron's "Silencer" celebration, and then they snapped a few pictures, too.
