The Lakers dominated the Portland Trailblazers on Friday night, wrapping up an undefeated road trip and extending their win streak on the road to 11 games. LeBron and AD went off as usual, combining for 70 points, 16 rebounds, and 10 assists. LeBron himself had eight assists in the game, but he also had one that won’t appear on a stat sheet.

To add context, LeBron has just scored the last 11 points for the Lakers and extended their lead to 95-79 towards the end of the third quarter. As he began jogging to get back on defense, he didn’t see the courtside waitress behind him and accidentally bumped into her, knocking her to the ground.
James quickly saw what happened though, and immediately went over to help her back up, gave her a hug after making sure she was ok, and got right back to the game.
The moment was captured by ESPN’s broadcast and wasted no time making the rounds on social media. It only adds to LeBron’s status as being the best on and off the court, and at this point somebody has to ask, can he do no wrong?
The Lakers return home on Sunday to face the Minnesota Timberwolves before embarking on a five-game road trip.
