By Phalanx 1163680576 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removei watched this clip more than 20 times and ready to watch it more and more....i raise the sound of the speakers to the max and enjoy the crowds cheering him each time he scores his flawless 3-pointers andthe way the man in the back ground jumps and the way the cheerleader kneels to watch him score each time before jumping with the rest of her squad.Just amazing andhow the camera shakes with the rush of the crowd to him at the end.
By Jason-t 1158417791 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveAs a less than empathetic or emotional NYer there's an amazing impact delivered by this event. It's been months since this happened, and it still brings a warm fuzzy when you hear about this. On Oprah, at the ESPYS or just a forward online .... it's a story to be told as inspiration for the ages !!!!
that was awsome jason and nice shots
By SJT1991 1153350824 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeya he had nice shots
I'm really high right now and i just cried a little. That was F**king awesoeme!! It's good to see that some people (his coach and his whole team) still have hearts of gold. Really high.
By GuitarGod 1143582072 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI be the coach is kicking himself for not playing him the rest of the season 'cuz this kid is HOT AS A PISTOL! Great story! I heard that his family has had over 25 movie offers. Plan to see Rudy 2 coming to a theatre near you. I didn't mean for that to be demeaning, just similar story.

By Maines_Own 1141375860 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI loved this clip, as Ihave a son who has autism. You never know what to expect from the autistic community, and this is proof that you can't underestimate them. Jason ROCKS!
By comma momma 1141259008 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI also have a son who is autisic. And its true you never know what to except from them . People think because they have a disability that they can't do anything . Jason way to go. Keep up the good work.

By phs_wrestler 1141083480 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveWANNA HAVE :
1. A CATCH?
2. A BURGER WITH THOSE FRIES?
3 SIX TREYS AND TWENTY POINTS IN 4 MINUTES?
ONE GREAT HEARTWARMER
How would you like to be the coach that used a kid that could hit 6 3's in the last 4 min. to play, as a water boy. Yes he might have his problems, but who doesn't. That kid should have started every game.
By americanjock30 1141080792 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removefeel good story
By hoosteady 1141080687 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI am speechless. Words cannot our never will be able to describe how he must have felt when he sunk those baskets. It just goes to show you that you can never underestimate someones abilities based on a mental or physical disability.
By wingman187 1141080524 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveAwesome! Get it Jason!!!!!
Sign him up with the Pacers! The new 3pt. player taking Reggie's place! They need a 3pt shooter!

By culfster 1141656099 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI have one question though...(great video)....
why is the school named greece athena?(athens in greek)
if someone knows, please post it....
the town/city is Greece in the state of New York. The have middle-thru-high schools named Apollo, Arcadia, Athena, and Odyssey Academy.
Like saying "Chicago Farrugut School" or "Fairhaven Kennedy Middle School" (locality schoolname).
Retard is not the right word. That was a shitty thing to say. People can not help how they are born. And most special people have jobs are happy and do better than the whining "NORMAL" so called people.
By mooncat56 1141227349 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removejust cause some 1 uses the word retard doesnt mean theyre makin fun of some 1, mentally retarded is a medical term. all retarded means is slow, just like if something is flame retardent, it burns slower than most things
