Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James made a touching gesture
towards journalist Jeff Zillgitt. In a
recent conversation with the media, the 39-year-old responded to a host of
answers from different personnel.
The press talk ended with Zillgitt asking a question to
James, something that was welcomed by the star player who expressed his
feelings in his response as well.
"First of all, it's f***ing great to see you,"
James said. "It's so great to see you, Jeff. Love this and the fact that
you got the last question is even greater. You tried to hide in the back, I
love that as well. Love you, man. Wow, it's great to see you."
The reason for such a nice response from James was that Zillgitt
recently went through treatment to fight cancer. The four-time NBA champion was
one of the stars who wished Zillgitt good luck while going through treatment to
fight the illness.
