Kyle NewportOct 26, 2015

Wanting to fulfill a lifelong dream, brothers Rahlir and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson set out to give their mother, Rylanda Hollis, a gift she would never forget.

That set the stage for what Rylanda called "the best birthday ever."

Rahlir (who spent last season with the NBA Development League's Delaware 87ers) and Rondae (a Brooklyn Nets rookie) got together to buy a new home for their mother. After searching the market for a little while, they found what they felt was "the perfect fit," via the New York Post.

Once they settled on the house, they made sure to get a deal done. Rondae told the person selling the house why he wanted to buy the house; when he did, the woman cried and wanted to do her part to make it happen—even going as far as buying a cake for Rylanda.

Rondae and Rahlir surprised their mother with the house for her birthday recently, leaving Rylanda in tears. With that, the brothers finally completed their dream of giving their mom a new home.
