Portland Trail Blazers center Meyers Leonard has always had a special relationship with his brother Bailey.
The video above, which was first posted during March Madness, shows the strength of the brothers' bond. When their father passed away, Bailey became a father-figure for Meyers and the tough times they went through brought them closer together. "With hardship and getting through hardship," says Bailey, "that only helps bring people closer together."
Meyer had to grow up without a father, and eventually, he had to learn to live without his big brother as well. In 2008, Bailey joined the Marines. "It was such a shock to me," says Meyers, "I went to my room and cried. I'd never not had my brother."
In early March, Bailey decided to surprise his brother, who he hadn't seen play for more than two years. Watch the video yourself to see the touching reunion.
