The 12-year-old girl who had an unforgettable moment when LeBron James sat next to her during a Lakers game on Saturday got the chance to meet him backstage, capturing a heartwarming photo together. The Lakers shared the touching encounter on Instagram, describing it as “wholesome,” with James himself posting about it on his Instagram story, expressing his joy in moments like these. Despite James being sidelined due to an ankle issue, he made a lasting impression on young Gaia and her brother, who were seated next to him. Gaia initially didn’t realize it was LeBron beside her, but when she did, she was visibly overwhelmed, covering her mouth in awe and cherishing the moment as one of the best in her life. She shared her excitement about seeing LeBron and her joy at witnessing him break the NBA’s all-time scoring record earlier that week. The Lakers’ victory that night added to the magical evening for Gaia, capping off an unforgettable experience.
