It only took one play for Bijan Robinson to leave the internet — and LeBron James — in disbelief. The Falcons star took a handoff from rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr., burst through the right side, shrugged off a diving tackle attempt from Bills safety Cole Bishop, and blazed down the sideline untouched for 81 yards. The play pushed Atlanta to a 21–7 lead and instantly became one of the season’s defining highlights.

Moments later, James posted his reaction on X, writing, “Bijan so COLD!!!!!!!!! 🥶” The post quickly went viral, drawing thousands of likes and retweets as fans joined the four-time NBA champion in praising the second-year running back.
Robinson finished the first half with 138 rushing yards on 12 carries and added two receptions for 14 yards. His latest performance extended his streak to 11 consecutive games with at least 90 scrimmage yards which is the longest active run in the league. This season alone, he has already logged three plays over 50 yards, a sharp contrast to his rookie campaign, when he had just one play beyond 30.

LeBron James’ injury update
While James continues to make his presence felt online, the Lakers are quietly navigating his ongoing recovery. The 40-year-old forward has been dealing with a sciatic issue on his right side for months and will be re-evaluated after the opening weeks of the NBA season. The setback has forced Los Angeles to shift focus toward Luka Doncic, who is expected to shoulder the team’s offensive load.
James’ health remains one of the most closely watched storylines entering the season. Despite playing 70 or more games in each of the past two years, the veteran’s durability has become a lingering concern. For now, though, even from the sidelines, LeBron is still proving that when something special happens in sports, he’s one of the first to recognize it.
