Boy Bursts Into Tears Upon Seeing Hero LeBron James

An adorable boy has shown the power of sport as he burst into tears when he finally got to see his hero LeBron James in the flesh. Liam Burgin, 13, is a huge basketball fan and spends his time analyzing the game and its players’ backgrounds. Liam was so inspired by LeBron’s story, overcoming many obstacles to eventually lead his underdog hometown team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, to a national championship that he quickly became his favorite player. But despite following the sport avidly, Liam had never been able to see his idol in person. So, mom Keele, 50, from Denver, Colorado, jumped at the chance to bag tickets at the Pepsi Center in Denver, where Liam’s local side Denver Nuggets were set to play LeBron’s new team the LA Lakers. Keele captured the amazing moment her son first caught a glimpse of LeBron running out onto the court on video.
