It's well known that Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James is a Johnny Manziel supporter.

After Tuesday night's win over the Toronto Raptors, James gave a well-timed nod to the newly-minted Cleveland Browns starting quarterback in what he wore as he spoke to reporters.

LeBron wore a "Money Manziel" T-shirt after game tonight. "You know I know timing," James cracked. #Cavs #Browns

Once most of the horde of media dispersed from James' locker, he was asked again about the shirt as he put on a hoodie over it, and then did a quick Manziel "money sign" before exiting the locker room.

Back in May, Manziel posted to Instagram a photo of James doing Manziel's "signature move" in the same Nike-made shirt James wore Tuesday.

Manziel is signed with LRMR, a marketing firm led by James associate and friend Maverick Carter. Both Manziel and James have endorsement deals with Nike, and the pair teamed up for a McDonald's commercial earlier this year.

The Browns named Manziel the starter for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Tuesday. FOX Sports NFL Insider Jay Glazer first reported the news.
