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.

“Super humbled that I can still play this game,” James said. “Played at a high level, played with 11 other great players and a great coaching staff and went on and did it for our country. It was a great moment around.”
He scored 14 points in the win.
