VIDEO: LeBron lets youngster sit on bench, possibly at J.R. Smith's expense

LeBron James is great with kids, and that was on display Wednesday night during the Cleveland Cavaliers' 98-96 preseason loss to the Atlanta Hawks in Cincinnati.

First, he took a selfie with a group of youngsters during a stoppage in play. Later, he appeared to let a girl sit next to him on the bench. The best part: As the Cavs' broadcaster mentions, that apparently left teammate J.R. Smith without a seat.

We'll trust Swish found a way to occupy himself.

In 22 minutes on the floor, James had eight points, seven rebounds, and five assists.
