Watch: LeBron invites teen fighting cancer to participate in pre-game warmups

Ebony Nettles-Bey, a 16-year-old cancer patient, desperately wanted to meet LeBron James. Unfortunately, she lives in Wisconsin, so opportunities to hang with the NBA icon are few and far between. But thanks to the Milwaukee Bucks and the Miami Heat, the high school junior had her wish granted on Saturday, as she spent the evening hanging out with both teams, James included.

A basketball player herself, Nettles-Bey was invited onto the floor and participated in every facet of pre-game activities with LeBron and the Heat, from running out of the tunnel to shootaround to the national anthem.

You can check out videos of Nettles-Bey's memorable night below.
