Niyear, who played basketball prior to his illness, looks up to Wall and considers him his idol. "I chose him for my wish because when I get older I want to be like him," Niyear said. Niyear was able to hang out with his idol for a day and even got to feel like part of the team. Kudos to Wall for being a great role model and making this young man's day. Wall said, "Hopefully his wish came true and he had a great day."

Also, congrats to the former 'Cat who continues to break records for the franchise. https://twitter.com/ZacharySRosen/status/848711082176909312
