During last night's game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Memphis Grizzlies, a special moment was shared between LeBron James and a Grizzlies employee when James gifted the longtime fan his game-worn pair of the player exclusive "Court Purple" Nike LeBron 16. The exchange came in the final minutes of the game when James pointed the employee out to gift her the exclusive kicks. She was visibly emotional following the special moment.

"Every year I would come here and she always has worn a very exclusive pair of my shoes. I've never said anything to her, but tonight I said something to her for the first time and she was like "I've always been team LeBron... always," James said in a statement when asked about by the media post-game.
