Leah Still Celebrates Last Cancer Treatment With LeBron James

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Leah Still's battle with cancer has been well documented. The young girl has displayed a level of strength even greater than the physical feats displayed on the field by her father Devon Still, and his NFL colleagues.

Still has gained the admiration of a number of people much bigger and stronger than she is. One of those people inspired by Leah, just so happens to be the best basketball player in the world.

This past week, Devon and Leah Still were going to take in a game between the Wizards and the Cavaliers so Leah could see her favorite basketball player, LeBron James, play in person. The outing was to celebrate Leah's final cancer treatment.

Devon was unable to stay for the game as he had to head to Houston. He eventually signed a contract with the Houston Texans.

Her father having to leave, didn't stop Leah from staying to see James. Her and James had the chance to spend some one on one time together and he expressed how much the young girl has inspired him.

James went on to promise Leah a house/tea party with her father, himself and James' daughter, Zhuri.
