Christmas came early for the Ravena boys!

Christmas came early for two of the most talented basketball athletes in the Philippines.

Former Ateneo de Manila University cager Kiefer Ravena and his younger brother, Thirdy Ravena, who currently plays for the Blue Eagles also, received a special surprise from the NBA superstar Lebron James.

The two shared with their fans on Instagram that the Cleveland Cavaliers star player gave them a pair of basketball shoes and a personal letter motivating them.

 

"Be the strong, determined, resilient person you have always been. Destroy the doubts that the world continue to throw at you. Conquer the world." Thank you @kingjames ! 2??3?? @nikeph @jappyparulan @nikebasketball #BattleTheDoubt

"Sometimes you think you will always come second. Those days are over. This is Thirdy's time. Don't think of whatever anyone thinks or says about you. Just play your game. I promise you at the end of the day, all those doubts will go down the drain. Go out there and battle your doubts." - @kingjames can't express how thankful I am to the Nike family for making this possible! @jappyparulan @nikebasketball @nike #BattleTheDoubt #Swooshlove
