There is never a dull night in the NBA. Every game features a mix of exciting and heartfelt moments. Unfortunately for most fans, LeBron James missed Saturday night's game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors.

However, one lucky person in attendance shared a viral moment with the league's all-time leading scorer. During the game, James sat down next to a young fan who understandably lost it when she recognized the 19x NBA All-Star.

ESPN interviewed the fan during the game, and afterward, she was able to meet James. Thanks to the Lakers' social media account, we got pictures and videos of the heartwarming moment.

Since James did not play, we do not have any updates on James' 20th Nike signature shoe - the Nike LeBron 20. However, James still gave sneakerheads plenty to discuss with the kicks he wore on the bench.

During Saturday night's game, James wore the Off-White x Nike Air Terra Forma in the 'Wheat Green Strike' colorway. The shoes were released in December 2022 for $210. According to StockX, the average resale price is now $316.

The lifestyle sneakers were part of yet another collaboration between fashion brand Off-White and Nike. This colorway features a multilayered upper constructed of textile, suede, and other materials. 

Off-White branding appears with white text featured on the upper, with bright green tongues extending up the leg. The swoosh logos are stitched on to complete the rugged aesthetic.

Late last night, James shared the picture on his Instagram and said, “This is exactly why I love what I do!” The 38-year-old has exceeded the lofty expectations placed upon him as a teenager and continues to elevate the game on and off the court.
