January is the time for making goals. Everything from losing weight to saving more money.

From last night's broadcast. Kevin Durant provides inspiration and an unforgettable moment for one little boy with cancer.

This year, one of Oklahoma's kindergartners, Keaton Barron, got to work on some New Year's goals of his own.

His number one goal, that he recently achieved, was beating cancer. The second, was planning a trip to Disneyland. Keaton's third goal was to meet Kevin Durant and it came true this week at an Oklahoma City Thunder's game.

The basketball team posted a video online of young Keaton holding up a sign showing his goals.

The first two were checked in red marker and the last was checked in pen with Durant's signature right next to it.

 According to the announcer, Keaton and his family got to meet Durant during halftime. They reportedly took pictures and Keaton got to take home Durant's game shoes from Christmas Day. 

Keaton and his family are long time fans of the Oklahoma team and posted online saying, "The best Thunder game of our lives! Thank you, KD, for making my son's wish come true. @KDTrey5 is amazing!"

So, tell us again, "What extremely difficult goals do you have for the New Year?"
