Travis Hunter, the cornerback as well as the wide receiver for the Colorado Buffaloes, sees his dream come true as he receives a much-awaited gift from LeBron James. Hunter has always been vocal about his passion for the Los Angeles Lakers and the legendary King James. So much so that he finally received a memento from the goat himself, which he’ll remember for years to come.
During the match between the Denver Nuggets and the LA Lakers, the trio of Deion, Shedeur, and Hunter showed up courtside in the VIP seats. These players will soon be stars in the football world as well, but that day, they were just fans of one of the greatest basketball players in the world. And when LeBron personally sent over a gift for Hunter, he couldn’t help but show it to all of his 1.2 million followers.
