[@jjmanzano9]

I don't blame James for leaving Cleveland. He lived there his entire freaking life. "The decision" was a bad choice, but ultimately he did deliver a championship to Cleveland.

[@tylerdowd]

Best player in the world, yet he's very humble and cares about his fans! Respect!

I respect him but he aint humble...and all this from the special kid is just propo

[@qeesa1618]

basketball aside, lebron is obviously a great dude. i get why people hate him basketball wise, but can you actually hate this dude outside of basketball?

[@enn1188]

+MuricanEagle naw lebron is a great person it's just when he's in the playoffs is when he's you know.But he gets hate for no reason

[@TrueDrewTube]

+ENN 11 You're supposed to be focused during the playoffs, lebron is under a lot of stress, because he's been on under preforming teams

[@AldjinnTV]

Lorenz Kroneisl I know, but he ain't on my team :P (it's not his game I hate)

[@mariomccall009]

That was an incredible gesture by LeBron. That kid will remember that for the rest of his life. To go through as much as he has at such a young age and then have someone of LeBron's stature to tell him to keep it up, makes the every day struggles he faces a bit easier to tackle.

[@nameless8608]

anyone knows how he's going currentlycan't seem to get any info or site talking about him

[@kjag23]

To me what gets me is how unbelievably happy that made his mother. Mom's in this world are so strong and you can see how happy that made her to see her son happy. Her smile when LeBron runs over always chokes me up.

[@lisalafayette]

That gets to me also. Mom was so happy for her child and grateful to Lebron for the attention he gave her son. Nothing like a Mom.....

[@ayosgsauce]

As a parent of a special needs child this would mean a lot to me.

the joy on the kids face is what it's all about in the end. Can really see that it meant a lot to him. Christmas came early for the guy

[@andybeenframed8180]

Love this comparison

[@pepsiandsnapple]

dam no Celtics players came up to the kid. that kid and his family will forever be LeBron fans now. I am indifferent about LeBron but he has gained my respect

[@jramirez27]

AS A PARENT TO SEE HIS MOMS REACTION I CAN ONLY FEEL GENUINE RESPECT FOR THIS SUPER STAR WHO IS BIGGER THAN THE GAME

[@jerryhello]

This is a man right here who understands the weight of his actions. Being successful and being kind and decent do not have to be mutually exclusive. Salute, Lebron.

[@ernieasl2245]

I just realized the kid was trying to show Lebron his shoes. Awesome. Ima cry. Great of Lebron.

[@kit99bar]

He's like the Jeter of basketball. Always a class act, preserving the name of the game. A real role model, no matter what team you support.

Just a Class act by Lebron , He didnt have to do that but he chose to , #Greatness

[@lisalafayette]

I've watched this vid so many times. Just a 'feel good' video when I need something to lift me up. Loved the kindness and concern Lebron's showed this young man. Even like watching the reaction of the young man's family (as well as some in the crowd) to Lebron's kind gesture.

I think that was so cool but the smile on his moms face when LeBron came over was just priceless. You can tell how much she loves her son just in that smile.

[@peternolan4855]

Good on Lebron, he is a kind hearted man. When his basketballs says have concluded it will be said his heart exceeded his talent. A special talent indeed.

[@MrOffshore]

He can say a lot of things that I don’t agree with, but James is a caring man who puts his time, money and heart where a lot of others would rather not look.

One day people will realize besides the fact I feel he’s the best player at the worst it best opinion is he’s 2nd not up for debate feel how You do but Lebron nobody can question his heart starting schools for mainly singles parent kids who could really use it and the role model he’s been through everything never once did a thing wrong crooked or broke the rules in life period always respectful and took the high road that mean is great he might be the best at every aspect of the game on and off the court he’s broke the bars and limits and set new highs with everything
