Even though LeBron James could take the approach of Lakers Against The World as Anthony Davis makes his return to New Orleans for the first time as a visiting player, the spirit of the holiday season was too much for LeBron to ignore when he was approached by a couple of young fans outside of the Lakers team hotel in the Big Easy.
A father with his sons asked LeBron for a photo outside of the hotel and told him after he granted their wish that they’d waited five years to get a photo with The King. After James obliged for the photo, he wished the kids and father a Happy Thanksgiving.
"LeBron!!"

Perhaps LeBron’s own kids and family were on his mind when he made the day of the family on Wednesday. But the good news for LeBron is that he doesn’t have to miss them too much longer as the Lakers will finally fly back westward to Los Angeles following the conclusion of tonight’s game against the Pelicans.
Davis’ return to New Orleans will be carried nationally on ESPN at 6:30 p.m. Pacific.
