An Edmonton youth who can often be seen outside his home dribbling a basketball has grabbed the attention of people around North America, including his idol: LeBron James.

It started with Anthony Muobike's daily basketball practice - without a net - being noticed by a neighbour, who decided to make a Facebook post asking for help to get the teen a hoop. Neighbours banded together and Canadian Tire donated a hoop and basketball, with donations collected going towards a Sport Chek gift card.

Now, the teen is making an impression outside of his community with a private Toronto school offering him a chance to take part in a basketball program next year. And then he got something unexpected when the King himself, LeBron James, posted on Instagram words of encouragement. Sarah Komadina has the story.
