Great Story
ESPN ran a story yesterday about a mildly autistic high school basketball manager who got to suit up for a game. The coach put him in with four minutes left and the rest was magic.
The CBS news clip of the same story is here. It is worth watching for the crowd and player reaction.

Incredible...
AWESOME!
I had goosebumps on my goosebumps.
I watched this the other night and had tears in my eyes when it was over. How awesome was that?
Maybe the coach should've played this kid all year long!! Absolutely one of the most uplifting stories I have seen in a while. That kid is still probably walking on cloud nine. AWESOME!!!
Wow, I haven't been that inspired by a story like that since the movie 'Radio'.
That is just too cool!!!! Thought I was truly going to cry right here at my desk.
THAT is what sports is REALLY about!!
How Wonderful Life is Sometimes & how little our problems really are ..
Sometimes you think there is not a light at the end of the tunnel .. here then .... Comes a Great "Ray of Sunshine" :)
Way Cool ... Great Story ...
Ding! Fries are done...
Ditto all the other posts... Dern near wanted to bawl like a baby when I saw that. But the kid at least had a little game, because to non-players like me, a three-point attempt is REALLY HARD... great for that kid...
