LeBron James was born for greatness, and there’s no doubting that. From his cover appearance 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 later, the King has hundreds of millions of fans who can do anything just to get a glimpse of him. 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. It 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?
