SAN FRANCISCO \u2014 Zhuri James stood with her back to the basket<\/a> at the free-throw line and heaved an over-the-head shot that banked in after several previous attempts.<\/p>\n

A little coaching and love from her superstar dad did the trick. LeBron James’ 11-year-old daughter held a shooting session of her own at Chase Center on Saturday night after he concluded his own warmup routine.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know,” she said of what the trick was to finally make the backward free throw, “I tried to make sure I was in front of the basket.”<\/p>\n

She also dribbled on the baseline as he dribbled<\/a> and James caught a glimpse and gave her a smile, then Zhuri came out on the court for some shots from different spots around the key.<\/p>\n

Zhuri said she had fun with opportunity, not something she gets to do at road games very often. At Lakers home games, she does it “sometimes but not a lot.”<\/p>\n

And before the 41-year-old James headed into the locker room to finish getting ready to face the Golden State Warriors, who were without injured rival Stephen Curry for a 10th straight game, Zhuri threw him an alley-oop<\/a> and he slammed it home. They shared a sweet handshake and he told her “love you” before heading inside.<\/p>\n
