LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers has been playing in the NBA for two decades now and remains one of the biggest draws in the league.
Indeed, he is definitely one of the largest icons the NBA has ever known.
It doesn’t matter which team you root for or who your favorite player is, it’s hard to not be in awe of James at times – especially when you see him in person.
LeBron asked a team attendant for a sharpie, then asked a young fan to send his jersey over, which @KingJames autographed for him. Always nice to see a big smile on a kid’s face. pic.twitter.com/afL9LnM5KM

A prime example of that was seen on Wednesday, as James took a moment to make a young fan’s day.
James signed a uniform for a young follower who was watching him and his Lakers participate in a preseason game against the Phoenix Suns.
After asking for the kid’s name, James applied his signature to the shirt and then had an attendant toss it into the crowd.
The smile on the kid’s face said it all and it shows that James is still a huge hero to millions.
The Autograph Of A King
The young child who got the signed shirt definitely wasn’t even alive when James was drafted into the NBA.
In fact, he was probably just a baby when James returned to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
This shows just how wonderful James’ career has been – even as he enters his 20th season he is still a massive icon even to the youngest followers of the NBA.
This isn’t just because James was so terrific at the start of his career, it’s also because he is still a great player that is head and shoulders better than most of the league.
Therefore, James can be a legend both for those who have been following him from day one and those who came of age later in his career.
