Miller was recognized at halftime for winning MVP at a recent Special Olympics competition.

Miller has overcome severe brain damage suffered at birth. After thousands of hours of surgery and physical therapy, he's on the basketball and golf teams at Newton North High School.

After the game, Lebron told reporters, "I think the doctor said he would never walk again or talk again. I looked up there and right from there, it became so much more than basketball."

James also made sure Miller received a pair of his game worn sneakers.

Miller wears shoes designed by Lebron. They are made for people who have difficulty tying laces.
