LeBron James shares touching moment with Special Olympian

  • 8 years ago
LeBron James and the Cavaliers came to Boston looking for a battle after a chippy playoff series last season, but the four-time MVP ended up making a new friend. James left the court during the Cavs' 89-77 win Tuesday to greet Special Olympian Aaron Miller, who competes in basketball and swimming despite being born with severe brain damage. Miller, 16, was being recognized as a "Heroes Among Us" honoree by the Celtics during the game when James caught wind of his story. "I was actually in the game and coach was drawing up a play, but I looked up at the Jumbotron and I (saw) what he'd been through and where he is now," James told reporters after the game. Miller in fact, wears sneakers James designed for kids with disabilities. When the game was over, James gave Miller the shoes off of his feet.
