“Love This So Much”: LeBron James in Awe of Viral Baseball Sensation on TikTok

The greatness of an athlete depends on multiple forces. Talent, hard work, sacrifices, and many other things are involved. However, the core reason for the success of the greatest athletes can be attributed to the love and passion they have for the sport. Just look at LeBron James. He didn’t have much growing up, living with his single mother. His admiration for basketball propelled him to reach the galactic stature the NBA great has today. Hence, it’s no surprise he loves watching such moments where an athlete’s love manifests itself in great ways.

James recently found time to scroll through his Instagram feed. During his trip, he came across a video of a young basketball player. Barely over 4 feet tall, the kid was overflowing with confidence. There was almost a looming feeling that he would hit the ball. Likewise, as the pitcher threw the ball at him, the young baseball prodigy swung his bat with sublime rhythm.

As the ball raced past the field, the kid yelled “bye bye”. Through his sprint across all bases, the prodigy who recently went viral on TikTok kept empowering himself with motivating words. As he completed the home run, a sense of jubilation consumed him. “Come on!”, the kid bellowed.

LeBron James was moved by the youngster’s raw emotions and desperation to chase the stars. “I love this so much! LET’S GO”, an excited James wrote on his Instagram story.

LeBron James is not involved in Lakers head coach hunt

After another turbulent season, the Los Angeles Lakers took a major decision of firing Darvin Ham. He had been the HC for two seasons, achieving a playoff berth on both occasions. With the seat vacant, several replacement candidates emerged. Among the crop, JJ Reddick, a former sharpshooter turned analytical expert is considered to be a heavy favorite.

Another reason for the same is his relationship with LeBron James. They started a podcast together, ‘Mind the Game’ a few weeks ago. Sitting across one another, Reddick and James seem to have similar ideologies. Moreover, in matters of head coaches, franchises generally converse with their star players to ensure their satisfaction.

In prior trades and other movements within the team, the Akron Hammer reportedly had a heavy hand. However, this time around that’s not the case. According to his agent Rich Paul, the 20-time All-Star isn’t involved in deciding the next head coach for the Lakers. The decision rests entirely on the organization.

Who do you want to see as the next Lakers HC?
