LeBron James made a touching gesture for the LA Fire Department last night. The horrifying wildfires in LA have affected over 200,000 residents as their homes and properties have been destroyed.

Many NBA players are doing everything they can to show support to the City of Angels, especially their superstar LeBron James.

The King decided to honor the real heroes during such scary times as he wore the LeBron 22s with a special message “L.A.F.D” written on it.
