It’s tҺrilling to watch a historic Lakers vs. Celtics game, but seeing the game in person and getting to know Vinicius’ hero, LeBron James, had to have added to the experience.
In a video that the NBA shared on its social media, LeBron and Vinicius can be seen happily posing to be photographed, James with the Brazilian soccer team jersey and Vini with the Lakers jersey, both signed by the athletes.
In the Lakers’ game against the Celtics you can also see that Vini was accompanied by Eduardo Camavinga who also plays for Real Madrid.
Vinicius Jr., recognized for his passion for American sports such as the NBA and the NFL, has had the opportunity to meet prominent athletes such as Tom Brady and Jimmy Butler, after his victory in the UEFA Champions League in 2022.
