LeBron James was in full coach mode this past weekend as he took over behind the bench of his oldest son’s AAU basketball team at the Adidas Uprising event in Las Vegas.

Despite having the four-time NBA MVP behind their bench, LeBron James Jr.’s team, the North Coast Blue Chips, ended up falling short to the Oakland Soldiers and lost 54-51.
 

Following the game, the interim head coach stepped up and gave the kids a motivational speech they’ll never forget.
 

It's nice to see one of the game’s greatest players take some time out of his schedule and do something for the kids.
 

 

LeBron a real one 💯 #lebron #lebronjames #kingjames @kingrod_2 (via: @maxpreps)
