After their hard-fought win over the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday, Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James gave his game-worn shoes and jersey to one of his favorite rappers, Lil Boosie.
Lil Boosie, as it turns out, is also Anthony Davis' guy.
LeBron signed both of his shoes and his game jersey and gave them to rapper Lil Boosie, whom he said was one of his favorites growing up, and also AD’s guy.

Lil Boosie, of course, was thrilled that he got autographed game jerseys and shoes from two of the best players in the NBA today.

Lil Boosie received the gifts right after the Lakers' win over the Hawks, 101-96. Though the two teams are in no way matched up against each other in terms of standings, Sunday's duel was a competitive and entertaining one.
James and Davis put up great performances as usual. James had 32 points, 13 rebounds, seven assists and three blocks. He was 12-of-21 from the field and drained four 3-pointers on 10 attempts.
Davis, meanwhile, had 27 points, 13 rebounds and two blocked shots. However, an injury scare occurred late in the game as Davis awkwardly landed on his left foot, held on to it while grimacing in pain. Fortunately, the Lakers diagnosed it as ‘ankle soreness' and didn't seem serious.
The Hawks, meanwhile, extend their losing streak to four games. Against the Lakers, Trae Young had 30 points, six rebounds and seven assists. Jabari Parker chipped in 12 points and five rebounds, while Damian Jones and Cam Reddish had 10 points apiece.
