Every once in a while, there comes a memorable moment where people remember why they love sports-- a prime example of that happened Tuesday night in Boston.

During halftime of the Cavs and Celtics game, Aaron Miller was recognized for his commendable efforts in the city's Special Olympics.

But he wasn't only appreciated by the crowd at TD Garden.

LeBron James noticed that the young man was wearing his specially-designed shoes for people with disabilities, so just before the third quarter, James made his way over to show his appreciation and shook Miller's hand.

It was an experience that both will surely never forget.

"I felt like I was a part of him," James said following the game. "It's not for [the media], it's not for the fans. It's for him."
