LeBron James encourages UC women's basketball player: 'Go Bearcats'

A University of Cincinnati Bearcats basketball player recently received words of encouragement from the King himself.

On Saturday, the UC women's basketball team's Twitter account posted a video of LeBron James addressing 2022 signee A’riel Jackson. The clip appears to have been filmed by James, who was with Jackson's mother, former WNBA player Kym Hampton.

In the video, the Los Angeles Lakers star told Jackson to keep pushing both on and off the court.
