A lucky fan received the game-worn sleeve of Lakers star LeBron James, with that fan jumping for joy and even screaming his name in delight.
LeBron James, as painful as it may be to admit, is creeping ever so closely to his retirement, making every one of his remaining game in the NBA must-see for fans who would want nothing less than to take his greatness for granted. And James continues to be a dominant presence on the hardwood; on Friday night, in an NBA In-Season Tournament battle against the Portland Trail Blazers, James finished with another stellar stat line of 35 points, five rebounds, and nine assists while shooting 13-22 from the field in a 107-95 victory for the Los Angeles Lakers.
The entire Lakers roster and its raucous fanbase will have to be pleased with this bounce-back performance after a blowout defeat to the Sacramento Kings two nights ago. But there may not be a happier fan at Moda Center on Friday night than the lucky fan who received James’ game-worn sleeve.
