The Los Angeles Lakers may have suffered a terrible loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Monday night, but that didn't stop LeBron James from interacting with the fans afterward.
Following the defeat, James actually took a selfie with a Lakers fan who walked onto the court:

Well done, LeBron.
James had a monster performance against the Nets, posting 36 points, 13 rebounds, and eight assists while making 13 of his 23 field-goal attempts. He did, however, go just 8-of-13 from the free-throw line, and that is something he surely will not be happy about, especially given his struggles from the charity stripe this season.
Overall this year, LeBron James is averaging 27.7 points, 7.7 rebounds, seven assists, and 1.3 steals over 34.7 minutes a night while shooting 51.9 percent from the floor, 37 percent from three-point range, and 68.3 percent from the free-throw line.

Los Angeles went just 1-3 on this road trip, only topping the Charlotte Hornets last Saturday. The Lakers also lost to the Houston Rockets to begin the road trip, as James Harden poured in 50 points.
With the loss to Brooklyn, the Lakers dropped to 18-13 on the year. They are currently in fourth place in the Western Conference standings, but they are currently tied with three teams in the loss column for that spot.
They will now head home for games against the New Orleans Pelicans and the Memphis Grizzlies before preparing for a Christmas Day showdown at Oracle Arena against the Golden State Warriors.
