After Friday's Game 6 win over the Rockets, LeBron James played along with a social media joke about Will Anderson Jr. being his son.

It's no secret that many, if not most, football fans are also basketball fans, and vice versa. Players from the NFL often attend NBA games, and during Game 6 between the Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets on Friday, a big Houston Texans star was in attendance at the Toyota Center. Will Anderson Jr.

, the Texans' star defensive end, had seats near the court for the contest. He may have been disappointed that Houston lost to the Lakers, 98-78 , but at one point during the game, he helped James get up when the superstar fell. There is an online joke that since Anderson looks similar to James' son Bronny, he is the future Hall of Famer's son.

The elder James played along with the joke afterward, per Jonathan Alexander of The Houston Chronicle . โ€œWhat was the moment like? The moment was pretty cool.

Yeah I just said itโ€™s good to see him. Thatโ€™s my fourth child. Him and Bronny are twins and nobody knows it.
