If you’re scanning through countless Instagram stories on your phone today, you might have noticed some entries from Cavs star LeBron James. James is supposed to be off social media, as he recently just flipped the switch to go on Zero Dark Thirty-23 mode, which means that the four-time MVP would go invisible online for as long as his team is competing in the playoffs.
James, however, made an exception to his self-applied rule, when he uploaded a series of Instagram stories that shows a young girl named Kheris Rogers conveying a short message of encouragement to people who need it. Rogers is also part of an organization called “Flexin’ In My Complexion” that manufactures clothes which are designed to spread words of positivity, so in a way, James also helped promote her business by giving Rogers exposure through his Instagram account.
LeBron James and the Cavs are currently preparing for a crucial Game 5 matchup with the Indiana Pacers in their first-round series. That game will be played Wednesday night at the Quicken Loans Arena, where Cleveland will look to grab the series for the first time in this series tomorrow night.
So far in the series, James is averaging 32.5 points, 11.8 rebounds, and 8.0 assists per game.
