LeBron James did not play when the LA Lakers faced the Golden State Warriors at the American professional basketball tournament NBA on February 12 due to injury. However, the 38-year-old superstar was still mentioned a lot after the match with the moment he appeared next to a young fan in the audience, surprising her.
“When I realized it was LeBron James, in my head I thought: ‘Oh, my God, the greatest basketball player in the world is sitting next to me?’. I was so shocked. This was a memorable moment. “I miss the most in my life,” said a 12-year-old girl named Gaia.
LeBron James even met Gaia personally and took a photo with her after the match (LA Lakers won 109-103). The LA Lakers star shared on his personal Instagram a video of Gaia’s reaction when he saw him and expressed: “This is exactly what makes me love what I do”.
