By Trevor Peele

If you want your dreams to come true, just start crying and have it posted on social media.

That was the case for Ayden, a young Lakers fan who showed up late to an event where he was suppose to meet Kobe Bryant.

In a video posted on Instagram, he was completely devastated about his missed opportunity.

Luckily, social media is a powerful tool. and the video posted by Ayden's mother found its way to Kobe's wife, Vanessa Bryant. Vanessa then arranged for the youngster to meet Kobe at a commercial shoot on Tuesday, where Ayden found himself star-struck.
