LeBron James wrote a touching tribute to Lauren Hill with a series of tweets Friday morning.
The 19-year-old freshman college basketball player died early Friday morning after a battle with brain cancer. The Cleveland Cavaliers star reached out to Hill following her college hoops debut back in November, telling her she was “truly amazing” in a special Instagram post. Today, LeBron took the time to remember Hill and her fight with a heartfelt message on his Twitter.
