A fan was desperately trying to keep it together after realizing that LeBron James was sitting next to him.

A fan at the game between the USC Trojans and the Washington State Cougars on Wednesday went viral for his reaction to LeBron James sitting next to him.

As LeBron and his wife, Savannah, were making their way to their seats, the fan was looking in the opposite direction. When he turned his head to see who was sitting next to him, he was stunned to find out it was James.

You could see the man desperately trying to keep it together to ensure he didn’t do anything silly at that moment. He still ended up hilariously going viral, though.

NBA Fans Hilariously React To The Viral Video

The clip spread like wildfire on social media and NBA fans had some fun reactions to it.

One said the fan was telling himself to be cool.

A fan says he would have reacted the same way.

One says the fan simply couldn’t believe what had happened.

A fan says this man wanted to scream but held it together.

This would have been one of the best moments of this man’s life, one fan felt.

This certainly is a moment he would be telling his kids and grandkids about. A lot of people in his position would have probably lost their minds, but he at least did keep it together. While this day would live long in this individual’s memory, it’s one that LeBron probably won’t remember for too long.

Bronny James Had A Rough Outing For USC

LeBron was at the game to support his son Bronny, of course. The 19-year-old was playing his eighth game for USC here, and it might have been his worst showing thus far.

Bronny went scoreless, going 0-3 from the field, and put up 2 rebounds to go with an assist, as the Trojans lost 72-64 to fall to 8-8 on the season. This was the second straight game that Bronny had failed to hit a field goal in, as he is going through a bit of a rough patch.

For the season, the teenager is now averaging 5.9 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 1.1 steals per game. LeBron had boldly claimed that Bronny could easily play for the Los Angeles Lakers right now, and he clearly went a bit too far there.

Following that cardiac arrest last year, the youngster is going to take some time to get back to his best. There are going to be some more rough nights along the way, but Bronny fortunately has LeBron to help him navigate through the tough times.

James himself might just be needing some help right now, though. He and the Lakers were blown out 127-109 by the Phoenix Suns, and have now dropped to 19-20 on the season. LeBron had one of his worst games of the campaign as well, finishing with 10 points, 5 rebounds, 9 assists, and 1 steal.

You can count on him to respond with a strong showing when they take on the Utah Jazz next, but the same can’t be said about anyone else on the team, except for Anthony Davis. A lot of the role players for the Lakers have underperformed this season, and it seems inevitable now that some sort of trade will be made, as Los Angeles looks to turn things around and get their title challenge back on track.
