Lakers honor heroes from Paris train attack

Anthony Sadler was on a train from Amsterdam to Paris in late August, traveling with childhood friends and wearing a Lakers shirt when his life changed forever.

Sadler and his friends thwarted an attempted terrorist attack on the train, tackling a gunman who opened fire and preventing any fatalities.

Sadler, Spencer Stone and Alek Skarlatos were honored Sunday by the Lakers during a game against Detroit at Staples Center. Sadler wore the same Lakers shirt that he had on the train that day.

"I'm not Superman," he said at a pregame news conference.
