LeBron explained that he gave Miller the shoes because he had noticed that she had worn exclusive LeBron sneakers on the sideline over the years.

“Every year I’ve come here, she’s always worn a very exclusive pair of my shoes and I’ve always noticed it and I’ve never said anything to her,” . “And tonight, I said something to her for the first time and she was like, ‘Yeah, I’ve always been Team LeBron. Always.’ So she got a pair of LeBrons.”
Today, Miller spoke to Local 24 news in Memphis and told them that she declined a $100k offer for her sneakers because “she’s loyal to the max” to LeBron.
Grizzlies equipment assistant Brianè Miller says she's been offered $100,000 for the shoes @KingJames gave her during the Lakers/Grizzlies game on Saturday.
She's not interested in selling. "I'm loyal to the max."

Briane is a much better fan than I am because I would have sold those LeBron shoes for a lot less than $100k. Kudos to her.
