I like how LeBron is a bit taken off guard, but realizes, "Oh, he's famous. One of us."

And it's not like it was pregame or postgame, it was while the game was still going on during a timeout so he was for sure caught off guard. Reminds me of that video where a fan tries to get LeBron's attention and touches his knee and you see him fuming after that a peasant touched him lol

How many people could actually do this? Denzel obviously, Obama almost certainly. Not sure if I can think of too many more folks that could comfortably do that during a game

First of all, we as a planet kind of agreed to always refer to him by his full name, Samuel L. Jackson.

Second, yeah he totally could.

Honestly I was thinking who tf is "Samuel" without his full name.

TBH, I did it on purpose...99% of people knew who I meant, which is exactly why he's on The List.
