NBA Players Who Left Their Biggest Fans in Absolute Tears 😭

**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
From gifty fan's cars to being there for a dying fan, these are the times NBA players surprised their biggest fans. And first, all LeBron did was wave at a little girl court side.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:11)
Look at the little young fan there.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:13)
Kind of has a moment, doesn't she?

**SPEAKER_4** (0:15)
That was a super dope moment.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:16)
I have a little girl myself back home, so I made sure that I went over and chopped it up.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:23)
A wave turned into the best day of that girl's life. Now look, Anthony Edwards almost missed the next one because 9-year-old Ben Beckwith was trying everything to get aunt's attention in Sacramento.

**SPEAKER_5** (0:33)
Everyone saw him saying, hey!

**SPEAKER_6** (0:36)
We were lucky to grow up in the 80s.

**SPEAKER_5** (0:39)
He was telling me to come back, and everyone told him, so I went down, and then he gave me his jersey.

**SPEAKER_7** (0:43)
That young fan went back to his seat, had tears in his eyes.

**SPEAKER_8** (0:46)
What does it mean to make that kind of difference?

**SPEAKER_9** (0:48)
It means a lot, because I used to be at the game when KD came to play Atlanta for OKC, and I used to hope I could get a jersey, but I was always in a nosebleed. So, you know, just finding that one fan that's, you know, he say he support me a lot, and he was super happy to get my attention, so I was like, you know what, I'm gonna get my jersey tonight. So, super happy.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:05)
And SGA had one that hit just as hard, because when a fan told Shy Gilder's Alexander it was their birthday, the MVP had three words.

**SPEAKER_8** (1:17)
Jay Gilder's Alexander, he's got time to come over and sign an autograph for a fan.

**SPEAKER_10** (1:22)
Did he take off his jersey?

**SPEAKER_1** (1:24)
His jersey?

**SPEAKER_9** (1:25)
That he just played in and signed it.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:27)
My goodness. And Giannis made one kid his whole year, because all he had to do was hand over his jersey.

**SPEAKER_12** (1:36)
I got the jersey!

**SPEAKER_1** (1:38)
That reaction is more than the jersey itself. And Wemby's already doing the same thing, because after a Spurs win over Portland, 7'4 Weminyama found the smallest fan in the building.

**SPEAKER_13** (1:48)
We'll take a break and wrap things up from Portland.

**SPEAKER_14** (1:51)
The Spurs win it by two.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:54)
And KD did the same thing with his sneakers after the Warriors win over Portland.

**SPEAKER_15** (1:58)
A cool moment here. Takes off the sneaker, signs it for the kid, and you don't get a great look at it, but the kid is in tears.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:04)
But Ja Morant topped that, because after a game against Sacramento, Ja pulled off his unreleased Ja 1 signature sneakers for 9-year-old Xander Carr.

**SPEAKER_14** (2:13)
Regular season series lead.
They will meet for a fourth and final time of the regular season on January 23rd. Oh, my goodness. Well done, Ja Morant.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:30)
That kid is never wearing those. Now, Jason Tatum had a different kind of connection, because at the Barclays Center, Jason Tatum looked into the crowd and spotted a fan wearing his St. Louis high school jersey. Not Celtics, not Duke High School.

**SPEAKER_16** (2:43)
Hey, no, get off your shoes!

**SPEAKER_1** (2:51)
Recognizing a high school jersey in an NBA arena is next level, and Kyrie Irving made sure to salute the real MVPs, because after the Celtics' 13th straight win, Kyrie spotted military service members in camouflage sitting courtside. Kyrie Irving, we know. But sometimes it's just about showing the players respect, because one single word had the second greatest player of all time reacting.
And James Harden always keeps an eye out for his fans, because he gives to the fan his game-worn shoes with a signature.

**SPEAKER_17** (3:29)
He ends up with 38 points to get a sign off his shoes to a young adoring fan courtside here in Milwaukee. Of course, he's wearing Harden's jersey and the right colors.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:44)
Now Aunt Edwards did something real, cuz during a Wolves' blowout loss at MSG, he still had time for fans.

**SPEAKER_9** (3:50)
Anthony Edwards is gonna give that jersey to somebody. Oh, come on, man.

**SPEAKER_8** (3:56)
Oh, that is... I love that.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:58)
Well, Luka Dajas couldn't ignore this kid's birthday. And when he joined the Lakers, he took it even further, because Lucas showed up to UCLA Children's Hospital to meet his biggest fan in person.

**SPEAKER_15** (4:16)
Really good.

**SPEAKER_12** (4:17)
Yeah.

**SPEAKER_15** (4:18)
Yeah.

**SPEAKER_12** (4:19)
You excited?

**SPEAKER_18** (4:20)
I got a card for you.
