Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Terminator turned California governor, had a special message for LeBron James ahead of his first game as a Los Angeles Laker on Thursday night.

 

71-year-old Schwarzenegger took to Twitter to post a video of him pumping some pretty serious iron, and also to provide the Lakers with some very intense words of encouragement. LeBron will start as a Laker for the first time on the road, when they visit the Portland Trail Blazers.

In the video, the Terminator looks at the camera in the most intimidating fashion possible and assures James that he is the ONLY person that can make the Lakers great again.

Yeah, no pressure.

It seems as though he’s doing a pretty good job lifting the team up so far, though, as the league has him mic’d up, and they’ve already picked up some pretty wonderful moments of LeBron being his usual, inspiring self.

 

If Schwarzenegger is putting all his faith in someone, we’re glad it’s a person as consistent as LeBron.
