Having an autograph from an NBA player truly is a big honor. Fans line up or wait just to get their shirts or stuff signed by their favorite players. That was the case Tuesday night for Lakers big man Javale McGee, who probably encountered his youngest existing fan.
In a tweet by the league's official Twitter account, McGee was seen exiting in the tunnel but stopped for a moment because a mother asked for his signature. Not for herself, but for her baby.

The lucky baby girl just got her first autograph and it came from McGee. The infant can be seen in Lakers themed apparel. Even her ribbon bared the Lakers' logo while the mother was dressed in gold.
It is a good story to tell once the baby grows up, that an NBA player once spent a moment with her while she's only a few months old.
The Lakers, however, weren't lucky in their Tuesday night matchup when they took on the Denver Nuggets. They were outscored in all four quarters and were down big by the fourth quarter.
Paul Millsap, Jamal Murray and Malik Beasley all scored 20 points to lead their team to a 115-87 win.
LeBron James played for 30 minutes, but was surprisingly limited to just 14 points. McGee, meanwhile, only managed to score two points.
It is the Lakers' ninth loss this season, as they fell to 11-9. Still, it is good for the 7th spot in the Western Conference.
