LeBron James sat next to an unsuspecting fan and his reaction was all of us

 

LeBron James was in attendance to watch son Bronny’s USC Trojans face the Washington State Cougars on Wednesday evening.

The Lakers superstar went to the game at Galen Center in LA, California, with wife Savannah, and appeared to make one fan’s day by sitting next to him.

LeBron and Savannah sat down court-side next to the unsuspecting fan, who was initially looking the other way.

James took his seat and when the fan looked back around he had none other than the four-time NBA champion sitting right next to him.

Like many of us would do, the fan tried to keep cool but the sheer shock was too great to mask.

He looked at the woman on his left in utter disbelief before staring down at the hardwood, eyes wide open, as if to double check he wasn’t dreaming.

The fan’s gobsmacked reaction at sitting next to a sporting icon resonated with fans online, who agreed they’d have probably done the same.

“Man couldn’t believe it,” one fan said.

“Be cool bro, be cool”, another joked.

“Bro wanted to scream so bad,” a third responded.

“That man is living one of the best moment of his life,” a fourth commented.

The 39-year-old and his childhood sweetheart were at the game to cheer on their eldest son.

However, Bronny recorded zero points in the 72-64 loss to Washington State.

The 19-year-old, who is still working himself back after a cardiac arrest in the summer, finished with two rebounds and an assist in 15 minutes of action.

After the defeat, the 8-8 Trojans are eighth in the PAC-12 standings.

LeBron, meanwhile, isn’t faring much better in the NBA.

He finished with 10 points and nine assists in only 24 minutes in a 127-109 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Thursday night.

It was a dismal shooting night from ‘The King’, who finished 1 of 11 from the field and missed all four of his three point attempts.

Los Angeles has now lost 10 of its past 14 games and the inaugural NBA In-Season Tournament winners are floundering.

They’re currently 10th in the Western Conference and are below .500 with a 19-20 record.

The Suns, on the other hand, are the No.8 seed with All-Stars Bradley Beal, Devin Booker and Kevin Durant finally starting to click following various injury-related issues plaguing them at the start of the season.
