At first when it was on, i thought the coach just let him put on a uniform and warm the bench...

but when he put him in for the last few minutes, that was nice.

Tracy Mcgrady scored 13 points in under a minute, this kid did 20 in 3 minutes. Sign him up!

How did the other team play around the kid? did they think they were gonna hurt him? stay away? did they play normal?

I still think it's great. I just wonder about parts.

Thankyou Phil.
That's one of the best things I've seen in this world in a long time. Brought a large lump to my throat, and a lil' tear to my eye. Having an autistic nephew, and a wife that has worked with special needs children, I know what they go through to some extent.

We need more of those stories. They are very uplifting, and show how humanity CAN react. There is just too much negative junk on the news lately.

Mike.
