When Vinicius Jr. from Real Madrid faced off with NBA legend Lebron James at a LA Lakers game, fulfilling a long-held dream

A dream came true for a young fan when the Los Blancos winger got to spend Christmas Day in the United States, watching a Los Angeles Lakers game up close from courtside seats. After the game, he had the chance to meet NBA superstar LeBron James. They exchanged signed memorabilia, took photos together, and even swapped jerseys as a special keepsake.

Besides being a minority stakeholder in the English football club Liverpool, James is known for his love of soccer. Every Christmas Day, the NBA holds a series of games that bring together celebrities, fans, and athletes to support their favorite teams. Last Friday, the 23rd, US Men’s National Team player Gio Reyna was spotted sitting courtside at a Brooklyn Nets game, soaking in the holiday spirit while also enjoying some basketball action.

The soccer star from Madrid is still out of action after getting injured in November while playing for Brazil. However, he is expected to make a comeback on the field soon, aiming to return by the end of January. He has been on the sidelines for ten weeks and is now in the process of rehabilitating his injury.
