Video: LeBron James' alma mater wins at buzzer
See St. Vincent-St. Mary pull off a thrilling victory.

LeBron James is arguably the greatest player in the NBA and broke the Cleveland sports curse after delivering the city its first championship in 52 years. He knows a hero when sees one.

St. Vincent-St. Mary (Akron) senior Jonathan Williams made a pivotal steal with less than 30 seconds remaining in the Ohio Division II state semifinals Thursday against Trotwood-Madison. Then Buffalo commit Jayvon Graves finished it off with the game-winning floater in the final seconds for a thrilling 62-60 victory.

James couldn't believe what he saw from his alma mater.

Wow!!! That just sent chill through my body. First the steal then the shot to head to the ship!! #IrishPride?? https://t.co/sKTihnwb4T

Graves dropped 22 points, and his clutch shot propelled the Fighting Irish to the state championship game this Saturday where they'll battle Wauseon (Ohio).
