Back in February, there was a campaign out on Twitter with the hashtag, #LeBronMeetEbony, which was directed at getting Ebony Nettles-Bey, a high school basketball player who is currently battling cancer, to, at least, get a handshake or hug from her idol, LeBron James. Last night, Ebony got more than she could've imagined when the Miami Heat visited the BMO Harris Bradley Center to face the Milwaukee Bucks. That's because Nettles-Bey got to participate in Miami's entire pregame routine.

In the above video, you can see 'Bron 'Bron and Ebony shooting around. In the clip below, Ebony got involved in the team huddle and led the Heat onto the court. 


And it didn't end there. Check out the pics below to see what else went down.

Great work by LeBron and the entire Heat organization.
