Portland Trail Blazers center Meyers Leonard breaks into tears after his brother, a Marine, gives him the "best surprise" of his life.
Portland Trail Blazers rookie center Meyers Leonard tweeted a link to the following video on Wednesday night with this intro: "A moment I will never forget. By far the best surprise I've ever had. Hard to watch it without tearing up."
The video shows Leonard's brother Bailey, a Marine, making a surprise appearance at a University of Illinois basketball practice. Leonard's reaction is priceless: he is absolutely stunned and then breaks into tears as he hugs his brother. The video notes that the two brothers and their mother slept on the floor of their house, without electricity, after their father passed away when Meyers was six years old.
Here's the video via YouTube user John Castelli.
