Lonzo Ball and Kyle Kuzma Show Support for LeBron James at ‘Smallfoot’ Premiere
- Updated: September 23, 2018
LeBron James is embracing the Los Angeles lifestyle in many ways. On Saturday night, he and his family took to the red carpet at the Regency Village Theatre in Westwood, Calif. to celebrate the premier of the film “Smallfoot.” James lent his voice to one of the film’s lead characters.
The red carpet was star-studded to be sure, but it wasn’t just Hollywood celebrities that showed up.
Two of James’ fellow Los Angeles Lakers, Lonzo Ball and Kyle Kuzma also attended the premiere, showing support for their MVP teammate.

It’s great to see that Ball and Kuzma are welcoming James with open arms. It would be unwise for them to do anything else, as James is known for making his teammates better thanks to his immense skill and basketball IQ. The rather small gesture by Ball and Kuzma could have huge dividends for the talented youngsters once the 2018-19 season gets going.
As for James, it won’t be a surprise to see him on many more Hollywood red carpets in the coming years. Pretty soon, however, he will most likely turn the lion’s share of his attention back to the basketball court as he looks to bring an NBA championship to the city of Los Angeles.
