"LeBron James denied me an autograph thrice, but I got a selfie": Lakers star stops to take a selfie with a kid and NBA Twitter can’t stop raving about it

Lakers’ superstar LeBron James stopped and clicked a selfie with a young fan at the Summer League game and NBA Twitter cannot be more jealous

The NBA Summer League is going on in full swing, where each team is showcasing their young talent. With all the games happening, the senior players of the teams usually come down to Vegas to observe the young talents.

LeBron James and Russell Westbrook made their way to the court to observe the game, as the Lakers took on the Pistons. After having seen enough, LBJ was exiting the game before the end of the third quarter. A fan, near the locker room tunnel, asked LeBron for a quick selfie, and the star obliged.

The kid’s reaction was priceless, and why wouldn’t it be. He just got a selfie with one of the best players in the world.

NBA Twitter cannot stop raving about LeBron James and the lucky kid

NBA Twitter saw the video of the kid’s reaction, and could not stop themselves from talking about the same. While most of us would probably have the same reaction when we meet our stars. Fans on Twitter could not stop raving about how LeBron made the kid’s day.
