Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James received one of the sweetest gifts on Valentine's Day with a handwritten card from his daughter, Zhuri.

On Instagram, LeBron shared photos of the sweet card from Zhuri. On the pages, the young girl wrote “Happy Valentine's Day Dada,” “miss you soooooo much,” “See you when you come back,” and “Love you!” According to the Lakers star, his daughter snuck the card in his luggage as he was preparing for the Purple and Gold's game against the Denver Nuggets.

It was certainly a tear-jerking gift, one which will certainly motivate LeBron even more as he tries to help the Lakers extend their winning streak to eight games.

LeBron James, who is known as a big family man, has been having another MVP-caliber year in LA. As if he needs more fuel, he is averaging 25.6 points, 7.9 rebounds and 7.9 assists entering Sunday's contest. What's more amazing is that he's doing it at a highly efficient rate, making 49.8 percent of his shots from the field–including 39.1 percent from deep.

The Lakers are second in the West (and the NBA) with a 21-6 record, only behind the league-leading Utah Jazz.

For what it's worth, though, Frank Vogel's team can't get too complacent as they face a Nuggets team that is seventh in the West and winners of their last two contests.

With the letter he received though, LeBron could be inspired to go all out and finish the game quickly to bond with his daughter and children.
