Second Highest Earning Athlete in the World, LeBron James Plays Basketball With Kids in Heartwarming Footage

 LeBron James proved he is not only a 'beast' during the main season but also has the heart of gold by playing basketballs with kids in an adorable footage.

This was the first time in eleven years since the Lakers superstar has returned to the now popular summer league for most NBA top stars.

Last season, LeBron James' LA Lakers missed out on the NBA Championship failing to progress to the finals of the Western Conference and eventually the NBA finals.

Multiple MVP award winner LeBron James joined a couple of kids on Saturday, July 16 at the Drew League. 

James, who currently plays for the Los Angeles (L.A) Lakers, featured in this year's Drew League, a pro-am summer league based in L.A. 

It was James' first Drew League appearance since 2011 and he capped it off with 42 points and 16 rebounds as DeMar DeRozan’s MMV Cheaters defeated Black Pearl Elite 104-102. 

In a video posted on Twitter, LeBron relentlessly attacked the basketball rim and produced one-handed dunks, fadeaways and pull-up three-pointers. 

 After the game ended, a handful of Lakers fans clamoured for James to sign autographs and pose for pictures. 

What is the Drew League? Drew League is a summer Los Angeles tournament where many NBA stars feature every summer in order to remain active, according to MARCA. 

James and DeMar DeRozan were among the NBA superstars to have participated in this year's tournament.

Since 2012, King Drew Magnet High school has been the venue where all the kids gathered to watch some of their favourite players in this pro-am tournament.
