Uninterrupted/Twitter

A miraculous 25-point comeback and fifth Super Bowl win has Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James crying "GOAT" at New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.

New England defied the odds Sunday night by overcoming the biggest deficit in Super Bowl history to walk away with the Vince Lombardi trophy at NRG Stadium with a 34-28 overtime victory against the Atlanta Falcons.

Following the Pats' monumental win, James took to social media to congratulate Brady and his team for defying the odds in such a dramatic fashion.

"As a kid, man, ... you dream about moments like that," The King said.

It takes a champ to know a champ, as it wasn't too long ago when James and the Cavaliers were making history themselves by defeating the 73-win Golden State Warriors after trailing 3-1 in their best-of-seven series to end Cleveland's excruciatingly long title drought.
