One superstar to another: LeBron inspired by Lauren Hill, plans to send her package

Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James is one of many who were moved by Lauren Hill's first college game for Mount St. Joseph Sunday.

James posted on Instagram Monday about Hill, the teenager dealing with a rare brain tumor, who took to the court and scored four points as she made her debut at the Cintas Center.

Last week, Hill issued to James the "Layup 4 Lauren" challenge, an idea similar to the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge in which someone attempts a layup after spinning several times, then challenges three others to do the same.

Just what Hill will be receiving from the four-time NBA MVP is unknown, but it should help put another smile on the face of the woman who said Sunday she's "never felt so good" in her entire life.
