The amazing story of Jason McElwain. Jason is autistic, and for years he helped coach his high school basketball team. The last game of the season, the coach let him play. A must watch.

They did more on this story on the sunday night/monday morning (today) sportscenter. Just shows you how great life can be. And yes I got goosebumps too (when he made the first and last 3 point shot), the announcer for sportscenter said "if that story doesn't give u goosebumps I don't know what will".

Makes you reflect on yourself just a little bit. Sometimes it is the simple things in life.

yeah, i heard about this, aparantly at first the other team wasn't guarding him at all like you know to get him a basket, then they started to defend him a bit and thats when he caught fire like that. i'm sure they weren't like hounding him, but thats just a good story all around

UPDATE: He meets the President and now Hollywood is sniffing around. It's looking like his going to have one hell of a year. Good for him. :)
