The two were spotted Sunday night enjoying court-side seats at a basketball game at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, which saw the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors face off against each other.

Samuel looks so grown up already!

Meanwhile, Samuel was sure to dress on theme wearing an NBA-themed hoodie and t-shirt, though despite his home city being Los Angeles, it appeared he was rooting for the Lakers' competing, and neighboring, team, as his attire was emblazoned with Stephen Curry's name, photo, and jersey number, which is 30.

Nonetheless, that didn't stop legendary Lakers player LeBron James from stopping to say hi to Jennifer and Sam, and the eleven-year-old was surely the coolest kid in school the next day because of it.
