LeBron James surprises Special Olympics MVP (Video)
During the Cavaliers‘ game against the Celtics, LeBron James surprised a young fan being honored by the Special Olympics.
Game always recognizes game.
On Tuesday, during the Cleveland Cavaliers’ game against the Boston Celtics, Cavaliers superstar LeBron James made the day of one very young fan sitting court side at the game in Boston.
The young fan in attendance was being recognized for his recent MVP award at the Special Olympics. James, who is one of the classiest guys in the NBA, ran over to the young fan and showed him some appreciation and showed him some love before running back to the floor.

What makes this moment even greater is the look on the young man’s face as he realizes James came all the way over just to see him.
These are the type of gestures that make James liked by many in the NBA for his off-the-court actions, despite many not liking him for rivalries on the court. At the end of the day, it is stuff like this that really shows the true character of an individual and it goes to show that James is one of the great ambassadors for this league.
It was a great moment from one MVP to another.
