One small gesture that Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James made after his team's loss Thursday night has made big waves online after a photographer caught it on video.
“King James” was the first to leave the court after the first game of the NBA Finals -- but he was the last member of his team to enter the locker room. That's because he stopped to shake hands or high-five every single one of his teammates.
