yeah like what i really liked is that in most high school kids with differences are put in separate classes as to not get made fun of, but dude everyone loved this kid.. like to see everyone just go crazy for this kid who put his heart and soul into the game, and for it actually to be paid back to him.. Im generally pretty stoic and i dont get choked up, but man something about this really gets me

The best thing about it is the kid ends up landing a heap of 3 pointers. Like just being out on the court having a go is great but then racks up 20 points, what a champ lol.

they could turn that into a movie! reminds me of that movie Radio

six 3 point shots in highschool? damn thats probably a million times better than i can ever do lol

**Coke_Zero** · 05-05-2009, 02:29 PM

That kids puts bullies to shame. Never seen anything like that before, I was expecting the coach to put him in to reward his good work over the years, but not to play that well. What I think is better than anything though, is the support from his team, coach and school.

Unfortunately, this is probably a rare occurance, where usually the school doesn't support people with autism as much as they should. I hope he got to play again in the next match, it's stuff like this that helps build confidence and stops kids becoming introverted.

yeah when he missed the first few shots, i was like dammit, this is going to hurt him so much, but then he just lit up, it was amazing!!

i remember that being on the news here in houston, watching it again it still gives me chills and makes me want to choke up, alot of respect for that coach putting him in, because sadly most these days wouldn't. I know my high school coaches wouldn't have.

**Shaunzeh** · 05-05-2009, 06:16 PM

that was awesome, not gonna lie. i got cold shivers everytime that basketball went in! inspirational stuff!

yeah the second he pointed at him i like got excited, and to see everyone so eager to see him succeed

the highschool i went to was nationally ranked in football and all of our sports programs were sick, i cant imagine my soccer coach putting in a kid, too many are just focused on winning and looking good... that coach is a real man, and a good one at that

Wow! That is truly amazing. I'm really glad he got to play and how he made all those shots. Just him being in the game is inspirational, and him making 6 3-pointers, is just epic. Awesome video!
