While the officials called out all the stars present in the star-studded ceremony, LeBron James was the last name to be called for forwards and Michael Jordan was the last one to be called in the guards’ category.

What the fans witnessed was nothing less than historic. The two GOATS hugged each other while the whole world watched on. Interestingly enough, Jordan had a special message for LeBron.

Jordan said, “You can do it. You can do it. Good Luck.” Fans have speculated the message to be hinted at the tough season the Los Angeles Lakers and LeBron James are facing.

LeBron speaks about Jordan

It is no secret LeBron has been inspired by Michael Jordan. Moreover, the game-winning fadeaway by LeBron belongs to Jordan.

Safe to say out of the 18 career All-Star appearances, James is going to relish this the most. He also talked about this moment between him and MJ in the post-match press conference.

LeBron said, “I did not want to lose the opportunity to shake the man’s hand that inspired me throughout my childhood.”

He further added, “I haven’t had much dialogue with him in my 20 years or 19 years in this business, but part of me wouldn’t be here without MJ’s inspiration. I always wanted to be like him growing up.”
