SALT LAKE CITY — Welcome to today's From Left Field! Here are some of the coolest things that happened in last night's sporting action nationwide.

1. Lebron takes some time out to recognize a Special Olympian

Yes, this just takes a couple of seconds. But the expression on 16-year-old Aaron Miller's face when he realizes LeBron is coming over to greet him, well, it's pretty neat.

Watch the video at the top of the article.

After the game, Miller also received LeBron's shoes. Here's what James had to say about what happened:

Cool stuff.

2. We have reached peak bench celebration levels

The Monmouth college basketball team's bench has received a reputation, and rightfully so, for having the best bench celebrations in sport. Last night, they unveiled their new masterpiece: The Sistine Chapel.

Taking inspiration from a more traditional masterpiece, the Sistine Chapel requires significant strength and style to pull off. But when successfully performed, it inspires brilliant, vibrant play from the players out on the floor.

Monmouth, you're the best.

3. Can we get a kiss please?

Kiss Cam is a glorious moment in every basketball game, because of the odds of something like this: an amazingly awkward interaction between two people.

This is maybe the cruelest Kiss Cam operator I've seen, though. You can tell these people are wildly embarrassed, and as the camera tries mistletoe and bottom-of-the-screen messages to push them to kiss.

@spurs well played. We've been together almost a year now! — Kyle Collins (@KC_UTSA_Golf) December 15, 2015

Just kiss, guys! Make it easy on yourselves!
