Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James deserved a treat after leading his team to its sixth straight win at the expense of the New Orleans Pelicans at Staples Center on Tuesday.
The four-time MVP dropped a season-high 40 points on 11-for-27 shooting from the field and 5-of-11 from 3-point area. The King was enjoying some much-needed rest in the closing seconds of the fourth quarter when he received a sweet treat from a Lakers fan sitting courtside.
LeBron indulged his sweet tooth and helped himself to some licorice with under 30 seconds left in regulation.
