A memorable moment of respect from Lakers star LeBron James from back in 2015 went viral after the death of NFL legend Jim Brown on Friday.
Prior to tip-off of the Cleveland’s victory over the Warriors in Game 3 of the 2015 NBA Finals, James put his hands together and bowed in the direction of Jim Brown, who was sitting courtside. Given that the clip showed arguably one of three greatest basketball players ever paying homage to one of football’s greatest running backs, the moment became one of the lasting images from that year’s NBA season.
“It was one of my greatest sports moments,” Brown said back in 2015. “It really was. I’m not a basketball player. I had one of the greatest seats on earth. I had no concept that LeBron even knew I was at the game. And when he made his gesture, it was just a great thing for an old guy.”
