Last week, the men’s basketball team from Duquesne made history by earning a spot in the NCAA tournament. They won the Atlantic 10 tournament last week and will be playing in the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1977. Tonight is the first round of the tournament, with the Duquesne Dukes taking on the BYU Cougars. However, the one and only LeBron James gave the Dukes a unique gift before they took the court.

Before the game, the four-time champion gifted brand-new LeBron basketball sneakers to every member of the Duquesne squad. Given that Keith Dambrot, the head coach at Duquesne, was LeBron’s high school coach, the two have familial ties to the team. Furthermore, Dambrot recently declared that he would retire following the conclusion of the NCAA tournament. Following X’s altruistic gesture, LeBron said, “Yessir!!” Guys, good luck!
