WATCH: LeBron James Makes Fans Laugh at NBA Summer League With Heartwarming Gesture

LeBron James was born for greatness, and there’s no doubting that. From his cover on Sports Illustrated to filling the stadiums as a teenager, the man had God’s hand over his shoulders. At the age when kids struggle to figure out the direction of their career, the young Bron was negotiating a life-changing contract with Nike.

Now, almost two decades to his popularity, the King has hundreds of millions of fans who can do anything just to get his glimpse. He is certainly the Messi of basketball and holds a fandom that can challenge the following of a Hollywood legend or a political great. Recently, a kid proved exactly how important Bron can be to a fan.

The response from the youngster was priceless. He could not believe Bron made a gesture to make his quick selfie look better. Turned out that just a micro-second of attention from the 4x Champion was enough for a lifetime memory. Who knows if that act alone could motivate the kid to become a pro baller?
