MANILA, Philippines – The 50-point explosion of Magnolia import Romeo Travis didn’t go unnoticed by his “brother” LeBron James.

“Headed to the Finals on a 50 piece nugget!! Congrats my brother @rometrav. Keep going, Lucky Lefty,” James wrote on Instagram.
James ended the post with “#FabFive,” referring to their core team back when he and Travis played together at the the St.Vincent–St.Mary High School in Akron, Ohio.
Despite dealing with an injured left hamstring, Travis outdueled Ginebra counterpart Justin Brownlee to finish with a personal career-high in points to go with 13 rebounds and 3 steals. (READ: A day to remember for Romeo Travis)
