Amazing Basketball Moment

It's quite likely that you've seen this video and heard the story about Jason McElwain before as it was covered on national news.

This moment in sports history happened a few years ago but I never get tired of watching it. It's just a wonderful feel good sports story. What makes it even better is how this isn't a professional spoiled athlete making millions.

A young man with autism was always happy to be the manager of his high school basketball team in Rochester, New York. He supported his team from the bench year after year before finally getting his moment to be in the spotlight. And boy did that spotlight shine on him this night.

I can't watch this video without having a tear of joy come to my eye each time. Even if you've seen this video before, I'm sure you'll enjoy seeing it again.
