WATCH: Jabari Smith shares special moment with LeBron James
Jabari Smith and the Houston Rockets took on the Los Angeles Lakers, which led to a special moment for him and LeBron James.
James has been in the league for quite a while but happened to take on Smith's dad in his first career NBA game.
Smith made James aware of this, and James responded, "why you do that to me" Smith responded, "you feel old, don't you."
This had to be a cool moment for Smith, as James is widely considered the best basketball player of all time.
After the Lakers defeated the Rockets 140-132, Smith's father shared a moment with James, which capped off an entertaining evening.
Smith had 14 points, four rebounds, and four assists in the loss, while James dropped a whopping 48 points.
An occurrence like this is so interesting for Auburn fans as it isn't something you would have expected to hear about previous to the resurgence of the program under Coach Bruce Pearl.
This was a really heartwarming event to be able to watch as Smith got to share a special moment with one of the players he grew up watching when his NBA dreams were born.
Let's take a look at the moment shared between Smith and James, as well as the interaction between James and Smith's father.
