Game recognize game.

During Saturday night’s Los Angeles Dodgers game, LeBron James tipped his cap to Mookie Betts, who helped clinch a 3-1 win against the Miami Marlins — and a series win — by hitting two home runs.

Betts, 30, shared a clip documenting the special moment between him and the Los Angeles Laker, 38, on Instagram.

“When the King tips his crown.. you do the damn thing twice 🫡 👑,” he captioned the post. “Right back at ya @kingjames.”

In a post-game interview with SportsNet LA, Betts said that having James in the audience was “super cool,” adding that he reciprocates the love by waving at the basketball star at Lakers games.

"Game recognize game,” he said in the interview. “I had to try to show out for him."

Before Betts’ excellent performance, it was already a special night at Dodger Stadium — James’ bobblehead night.

The King showcased his figurine, which was outfitted with a custom Dodgers basketball jersey and purple crown, on his Story, alongside which he wrote: “Bobble head night at the park.”

Later in the game, James shared a photo of himself with Dodgers President and CEO Stan Kasten, who presented the LeBron James Family Foundation’s I PROMISE Program with a check for $100,000.

The NBA player shared a playful Boomerang selfie of the trio on his Instagram Story.

The family outing came less than a month after Bronny suffered a cardiac arrest during basketball practice at the University of Southern California.

"Yesterday while practicing Bronny James suffered a cardiac arrest,” a representative for the James family told PEOPLE on July 25.

The statement continued: “Medical staff was able to treat Bronny and take him to the hospital. He is now in stable condition and no longer in ICU. We ask for respect and privacy for the James family and we will update media when there is more information."

It concluded, "LeBron and Savannah wish to publicly send their deepest thanks and appreciation to the USC medical and athletic staff for their incredible work and dedication to the safety of their athletes."
