This kid's got heart.

[BruceFlorman]

Autistic kid was a devoted basketball team manager all through school. Never got to play in a game. Senior year, last game, 4 minutes left, Coach puts him in ... DEL FUEGO!!!

What made a feel-good story amazing was the fact he made 6(!!!) 3-pointers and another basket for 20 points in 3 minutes. Fantastic show!

Great story but a couple of questions come to mind...what was the score of the game...were they piling on...did the other team just fold to let the kid score...did the game mean anything?

I saw the video, it looks like the other team played normal defense, but when he got it he just threw it up there immediately - no time to really collapse on him, plus he was out there in 3 point land.

Regardless, considering the kid's challenges, that would have been a good HALFTIME performance with NO defenders.

It could easily have been that the team the kid was on was getting crushed. From the video it was hard to tell if there was anything different going on other than they gave the kid the ball as much as they could. They other team were hardly giving him space, he was just too fast for them, and very accurate!

Which time? :wink:

First time - too surprised
Second time - too relieved

But you're right - tears are only good for happy things! Bad things make me hyper-defensive - no crying then.
