i remember seeing this on TV. It makes me happy to see that there are decent children left in the world. At my highschool everybody tormented the boy with autism and i couldn’t stand to see it. It made me sick to be associated with those people.

Seeing a whole group of young people being decent human beings gives me some comfort in the future of humanity.

If he did so well, why don’t they leave him on the team?

Well, I’m convinced. And felt a good bit more positive about the Universe after watching this. Grand.

He set a new school record in his first game and folks here still find fault. He was great and he was in a great moment in his life which he shared with his whole school. They love him, we love him.Well Done, great to watch.

I wouldn’t say that he can clearly play.

He can clearly shoot. But can he pass? handle the ball? play defense? Since he is so short, those skills would all also have to be up to par with his shooting, and I’m guessing if they were he would have been on the team, and not just an assistant coach.

Let’s not all ruin the moment. There’s no point in having a debate, just leave the troll alone and watch the video and rat. It’s not that hard

Thumbs up to Aspiepowerful (1 week ago). haha. And no, I’m neither aspie nor autistic. Onya mate!

The kid was just warming up that’s why he missed the first shot. That’s what makes him the best because he only missed one then he just lit up. Good stuff kid!

just so everyone knows. JMAC is still at athena… he helps out with all the sports… right now he is helping out with all football teams as an assitant coach… he is still a celebrity in the school.. everyone knows who he is…. and he says he doesnt wanna leave athena either.

but this is a great story!!!!

This video is phenomenal. It’s the kind of story that gives me the shivers every time I watch it. Fantastic!

22 timmyballa 05.03.09 at 12:22 pm

wow that is so amazing i almost cried lol

23 cullyvan 05.06.09 at 8:57 am

I understand that. Maybe I didnt say what i meant properly. He can clearly play, why wasnt he given a chance sooner ? Why on earth is it “the end of his playing career ? Sorry , rant over. Point taken about his height but surely he should have been given a further chance.
