LeBron James may have lost the title of best player in the NBA to Steph Curry, but he remains one of the most popular players in the league.

The Cleveland Cavaliers star was in Boston last night to play the Celtics and made one fan's night with a simple gesture in a break in play. The 30-year-old congratulated Aaron Miller who is a Special Olympian in the Boston area.

Miller, who is 16-years-old, was named as the MVP as a recent event in the city, as was named the Celtics' "Hero Among Us" last night. Miller was given a standing ovation by the crowd during the game and James wanted to congratulate him on his achievement.

After the Cavaliers 89-77 win, James spoke about his gesture in the dressing rooms to the media. "I saw his story... I felt like I was a part of him. I was just showing him my respect and gave him my shoes. It was well received by him".
