The Phoenix Suns Players Were Surprised With Heartwarming Intro Videos From Their Families

This is just beautiful.

The Phoenix Suns players couldn't contain their excitement after the team surprised them with videos from their family members before their clash with the Philadelphia 76ers.

Instead of an NBA official announcing the team's starting lineup prior to the game, the Suns had recruited the help of some very familiar faces.

The heartwarming clips show the families and friends of each player making the pregame announcements - each with their own little spin.

While the introductions themselves were cute, to say the least, perhaps the most touching sight was the reactions of the stunned players.

The Suns stars couldn't stop smiling and laughing as every player had his own special intro from loved ones put up on the big screen.

The uplifting video instantly went viral on social media with the likes of LeBron James, Steph Curry and Kyle Lowry all sharing it.

Earlier this week, LA Lakers megastar James admitted: "I miss the hell out of my family."

It's clear that life inside the safeguarded zone of the Walt Disney World 'bubble' and being away from family members is taking its toll on the tired players - meaning that this incredible gesture from the Suns couldn't come at a better time.
