As the kid approached James, the Los Angeles Lakers star could be heard saying sternly, “Stop.” One person in James’ entourage nudged the kid out of the way as the group entered a restaurant.

James was met with congratulations from photographers and did a little dance as he entered the restaurant.

But the interaction with the kid is what caught social media users’ eyeballs.
