During a very special episode of “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” the Cavaliers star is reminded of his absent father. For those who may not be familiar with “Fresh Prince” episodes, Will Smith’s character all of a sudden has his father reappear in his life only for him to vanish quicker than a certain hairline. It would make anyone emotional and Smith acted the crap out of this scene. One would be hard-pressed to find someone who didn’t cry at the end of this episode.
The episode always hits home for James who was raised by a single mother.

Although Smith was early into his acting career at this time, it still remains one of his more powerful scenes.

It’s a sore subject for anyone, but the irony is that people used to taunt James with this very episode before he won his first championship.

Things always have a way of coming full circle.
