"I came here to win a championship but I'm still hungry for more": LeBron James makes an attempt to recapture Lakers Nation's confidence in the team

During the shootaround prior to the Lakers-Wizards clash, LeBron James spent a wholesome moment with a young fan.

The Los Angeles Lakers-Washington Wizards clash was an unforgettable one for LeBron James. Despite suffering a 127-119 loss over Kristaps Porzingis, Bron finished the night with 38 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists, surpassing Karl Malone for the 2nd position for all-time scoring.

While talking about his incredible achievement, LBJ also revealed that the goal of surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar one day is very much on the cards. James said:

“I will not allow myself to think about it. I’ve always just played the game the way I’ve been playing it over the years, and these things have just happened organically by just going out and playing the game the right way,” James said. “Hope to accomplish that at some point in my career, but I won’t think about it too much.”

Here, have a look at the wholesome moment.
