Pascal Siakam is a private person, and questioned whether broadcasting his grand Mother’s Day gesture was a good idea.
But his mom’s tears of joy were worth it, he said.
The Raptors power forward surprised his mom with a lavish new house on Sunday, capturing the touching moment with a video that went viral on social media.
“For me, man, Mom’s been everything to us. My dad being gone, she’s just a superhero, she’s just done it all the time without complaining,” said Siakam, whose siblings convinced him to post the video.
“Just having something special for us, for my family, and having been through a lot of tough things, for me to be able to bring that joy to the family is just such a blessing.
