LeBron James' Fan Interaction Gains Attention© Instagram/ kingjames

LeBron James was chasing a loose ball in the Philadelphia 76ers' game against the Chicago Bulls when he ran out of floor and into the stands. He grabbed a fan's drink, took a sip, and went back to the play like nothing had happened. The clip went viral, and the internet went crazy over it. Most people seemed to care less about the possession than about the cup.

Fans Lose It Over LeBron's Sip Of Soda

The replies started pouring in right away, and some of them were better than the moment itself. “If Bron sips my drink I'm not mad, I'm framing the cup,” one of the fans commented, followed by a laughing emoji. That was the polite version. Another fan went straight to the money. “That diet coke gon fetch a thousand bucks on eBay ong.” A third wanted to go bigger. “I'd frame the cup, charge admission, and tell everyone Bron approved my taste.”

Then there was the fan whose drink it was, who now has a story for life. “That fan's gonna tell this story for 40 years and the drink gets stronger every time,” one of them stated. And James, for his part, looks like he is still enjoying himself. “LeBron is having some extra fun with it in year 24,” another one wrote. It is hard to argue with that after watching a 24-season veteran chase a ball into the stands.

Philadelphia 76ers So Far

The Philadelphia 76ers are off to a very good start this season. They are 7-1 and sit first in the Eastern Conference. The win over the Bulls was a comfortable one, with the team building a 19-point lead along the way. Jaylen Brown, Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and V.J. Edgecombe led the team through its wins, and James has held up his end as well, averaging 16.4 points, 7.0 rebounds and 7.0 assists.

Next up are the Detroit Pistons, and this one matters. They are the only team to have beaten Philadelphia this season, so the game is a chance to get that loss back and keep the winning going. Win, and they stay first in the East.
