LeBron James says he doesn’t want to be the villain. And with his public display of support for Trayvon Martin, as well as a recent gesture at Will Rogers Airport in Oklahoma City, he may be casting himself out of that role.

James, while the team airplane was stopped to refuel on its way to Portland, insisted that military personnel be able to have their pictures taken with Miami Heat players, an airport worker told The Oklahoman.

There were about a dozen military helicopters also stopped at the airport, and some of the crew members asked Heat security if they could have their pictures taken with the players. They were told no.

That’s when LeBron stepped in and made sure their request was granted. “Hey, hey, any of these military guys can take a picture with us,” James told the Heat security people, per The Oklahoman.

He implored his teammates, “You guys get up,” and when he noticed some of them weren’t yet on their feet, he persisted, “Hey, everybody get up. Get in a circle here. Anybody that wants their picture taken with us, we’ll do it.”

After the pilots and crewmen got their wish, they asked each other, “Can you believe that? Who would’ve ever thought?”
