Video: Brilliant show of generosity as NBA fan catches autographed ball and gives it to nearby kid

Altogether now, "Awwwwwwwww..."

Altogether now, “Awwwwwwwww…”

Fans will often go out of their way to get their hands on any piece of memorabilia signed by their idols and heroes, BUT THOSE RUMOURS YOU HEARD ABOUT WHAT JOE DID TO GET THOSE SIGNED JOHNNY LOGAN PANTS ARE ALL LIES.

We swear to you.

Anyway, where were we? At a recent NBA game, basketball legend Hakeem Olajuwon signed a ball, passed it on to the Houston Rockets mascot Clutch, who subsequently threw it into the excited, waiting crowd.

What happened next would melt the non-meltiest of unmelty hearts, as the adult fan who successfully caught the ball immediately passed it to a young, nearby kid who gratefully shook his hand in return.

*JOE wipes a manly tear from his manly eye*
