It wasn't only Detroit fans who were awed last night by Calvin Johnson and his performance on Monday Night Football -- Two of the biggest athletes in the world were in awe, too.

The two superstars are Kevin Durant and LeBron James.

Both NBA superstars tweeted about Megatron during the game.

In LeBron's status he called Johnson his favorite athlete in the world. That's a huge compliment coming from arguably the most famous athlete playing professional sports today.

Kevin Durant was also in awe, saying Calvin is so good he only goes by one name -- Megatron. Durant also called him the best WR of all-time.

This might just be a coincidence but all three are Nike athletes and all have signature shoes.

In:
• Kevin Durant
• LeBron James
• Calvin Johnson
