Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James made sure to make time for one of the NBA’s most adorable stars.
Deuce Tatum, the son of Boston Celtics guard Jayson Tatum, gave James a high five after his dad helped defeat the Lakers 126–115 at Crypto.com Arena.
“Deuce! Merry Christmas, man. What’s up, boy?” James asked the smiling Tatum youngster with a big grin.

Tatum tallied 25 points, eight rebounds and seven assists in the win, while James was held to 16 points, nine rebounds and eight assists in 37 minutes.
NBA fans loved the Tatum-James exchange:
Deuce going to give Bronny the too small in 15 years.
