A daylight theft has been discovered in Colorado, but wait a second, no need to call the cops. The incident took place at the UC Health Champions Center, and it did not avoid the gaze of LeBron James. To be specific, the incident happened in the exact room that Coach Prime calls his office. Deion Sanders caught a shoe thief red-handed in the act, but the incident took an unexpected turn when the supposed robber was revealed to be his own player, Travis Hunter. And it seems like LeBron can’t get enough of it.
A video went viral earlier today that featured the Colorado Buffaloes coach and player duo. Travis Hunter is seen sneaking out a pair of shoes from the office when Coach Prime barges in. The two had a humorous encounter which LeBron shared on his IG Story. “Trav stay in Coach Prime stash!”, the Lakers star wrote in the caption after a barrage of laughing emojis.

“What you doing man?”, an astonished Sanders asked Hunter who was carrying a pair of LeBron’s signature shoes. The CB replied that he just needed some shoes. But that was met by more questions as Sanders continued, “You have contracts, money, oh my goodness. Those are vintage. I think they call them Bron Prime or I think they call them Prime Brons. You’re lucky I got two pairs. You are roguish, you do know that, right? Do you know what the word roguish means? It means you’re a thief.” The camera then panned around the room showing a massive collection of shoes in the room.
Probably that was enough of a reason for Hunter to pick the spot for his sneakers hunting. LeBron’s caption about Hunter staying in Coach Prime’s stash makes sense, given this is not the first time the 21-year-old has done this thing. A few months ago, Hunter stole Coach Prime’s signature big hat and openly bragged about it before Deion Sanders Jr. jokingly threatened that he would snitch on the whole stealing scheme. It was all fun and game as Deion Sanders later uploaded the video for the world to see the close-knit bond he shares with his players.

Season 22 and it still looks the same for LeBron James. The freak of nature is defying time and the magnitude of his longevity is there to see for all. Bronny James’ Lakers debut made the duo a part of history attracting some legendary names to the courtside. While Sanders couldn’t get a seat to watch history, he made sure to comment on that.
What’s your perspective on:
Does this playful incident between Coach Prime and Travis Hunter reveal a unique team culture?
Have an interesting take?
After Bronny’s first game in the preseason with daddy LeBron, Coach Prime took to social media to share his exuberance. Sanders also made his sporting life a family matter as the Buffaloes coach has his sons, Shilo and Shedeur under his wings as players. Delighted with seeing another pair of father-son making history, he wrote, “I’m COMING Back to play with my sons too! This is HISTORICAL! Give this man his FLOWERS NOW! This speaks to Fatherhood, Excellence & Longevity.”

Just like Deion, LeBron has the opportunity to be involved with both of his sons on the court. Bryce is set to enter the draft in a few years and looking at Bron’s fitness, one can be bold enough to predict that he might play with another James Jr. as well.
