  • He's not really that disabled, they exaggerate it to sell the story

  • He starts one game in HS and hits 5 3-pointers. What's not to love about his story. I'd watch this if it were ever made into a movie and I'm sure it could be some day.

  • Comment removed

  • Brilliant

  • i went to snow valley with this guy

  • hurrr durr hurrr jasan

  • Wow that is amazing he should be in the nba

  • J mac is truly inspirational.

  • @JonniDDR clearly you're someone who has aids

  • Damn you got cats hating on a dude with a disability... You cats life must be really empty to try and get attention by downing this guy. Looooooooooooosssssers

  • j-mac is the best

  • he is amazing that goes to show you that you can do anything if u put your mind to it

  • all u assholes saying that he is not even disabled, need to get a life andd stop hating on him. either way, even if he wasnt autistic its still amazing to score thatt many points.

  • @milyfreakwierd he admits it himself that he's not that disabled, look at 0:50

  • @milyfreakwierd when you know about the coaches agreement to tell the players not to defend J-Mac, get him the ball, and time, and space to shoot, it is much less amazing.

  • @JonniDDR cunt

  • @JonniDDR U still couldnt score as much as him.

  • 2:58

    Now THAT'S a cheer!

  • One of my favorite parts was at 3:22 - he quotes Michael Jordan in 'Michael Jordan Air Time' when he said 'The basket was like a big huge bucket. It felt like I was shooting free throws.' Just like Jordan's 1st half performance in Game 1 of the 1992 NBA Finals. Go Jason!

  • Good thing their coach gave him a shot

  • This generation's Rudy!

  • This is an absolutely awesome story. Not to take anything away from it, but just as an aside... the *Greece Athena* HS teams are called the *Trojans*??? What? Really? Isn't that almost as ironic as if Ole Miss called themselves the Yankees? Too funny... I guess athletic directors don't read their Homer anymore.

  • God created all men equal. Its us who differentiate between each other. This just goes on to prove that indeed we are all equal. No race, No color, No bias whatsoever separates us. Kudos to Jason for making everyone realize that and more importantly see that. Cheers

  • @huzeifahakimi well seeing as how god doesn't exsist most of that is not really vaild. But the message is good.. so kudos to you.

  • Watch at 0:52 even the J-Mac himself knows he is not really that disabled, they exaggerate his disability to sell the story. He says it himself that he's not that disabled.

  • @JonniDDR Agreed that promoters will rehash the contents to sell the story. You may be surprised to find out that the general medical consensus now is that people with autism disorder are not disabled. They tend to have some behavioral and social difficulties due to neurodevelopmental origins, but not disabled.

  • @lookingfortim thank you for your thoughtful response. You would be shocked at how angry people get with me when I bring up other facts about this story, some woman wants to come physically assault me for just saying they exaggerate his disability to sell the story.

  • he got 20 points in 4 minutes? why did'nt they play him throught out the whole season!!!!

  • @808bayside because the coach is a big douchebag. Now look at what this coach does, he writes books about himself like he is some kind of hero.

  • I smell a 'made for TV movie' coming on!! Wow tho, great story!

  • hahaha hes an asshole in real life...

  • @LupeKobe that's true, he is obnoxious and rude in real life after this happened. He admits himself at 0:50 he is not really that disabled.

  • really touching story. they should really make a movie about this

  • they should make a movie of this

  • @burnarno they did. its called Rudy. 

  • @burnarno They are...

  • @burnarno they did

  • @ThunderCatMovies what name ?

  • @burnarno I agree that this is a touching story, no doubt. But, There has to be a little more than a 4 minute climax involved in a movie plot hahaha

  • Thats a sad story

  • He is not just a good basketball payer, but a even better couch!!!!!. I had him as a basketball couch at snow valley basket ball camp :)

  • @All1s0ns coach?

  • @All1s0ns he is a couch?

  • @epeatgold what exactly are they selling us here?

  • @jonniDDR you really can't just be happy, can you bitch?

  • Well the problem with this story is that the coach Johnson set the whole thing up to get publicity for himself. The coaches instructed the players to give J-Mac the ball and give him lots of time to shoot and not to defend them. Notice how the camera footage is in fast-forward because they don't want the viewer to see how slow they are moving and how much time J-Mac had to set up each shot.

  • @JonniDDR I assume you rooted for Ollie to miss the free throws in Hoosiers too. Go take your pathetic conspiracy theories somewhere else. Nobody here wants to hear them.

  • Tadwight you pathetic lil boy. Have you always been a loser ? Apparently so. Im sorry you never got the attention like jmac has. Maybe if you werent such a snot nose little puke you would have.

  • This is a fabulous story. I have always considered people who overcome so-called disabilities in sports and/or education as the world's greatest heroes. That is why I consider Michael Phelps a hero, not because he got eight gold medals, but that he kept up through his AC/DC to get even one medal. Got to keep it real.

  • @1carolstepp OK, I meant AD/HD - although AC/DC may have been a Freudian slip since everything we do is caused by electrical impulses to the brain, and his are misfiring for some reason during his autistic moments.

  • what an amazing story and how inspiring. Way to go J Mac

  • Thanks for sharing! Wonderful and inspiring story

  • It's not always a miracle! Autistic children can be just as brilliant and successful as anyone else. Thanks for sharing this heart warming video. Way to go J Mac!!!

  • @HarkinFanNC1 is he autistic boy ??

  • seeing all these comments bashing someone who has a brain disorder absolutely pisses me off coming from someone who has a brain disorder which has the same characteristics as someone who has autism J Mac gave those who also have exceptionalities the courage to basically stand up and show that we may have a disability but we also have the ability to do things like those who don't have a disability so what i say to those who put those of us who have disabilities Shut the Fuck up and get a life

  • @shooka29 well you sound very emotional but sorry to tell you there is a lot of parts of this story that is left out to make it sound better, and it was really a publicity stunt by the coach and all set up.

  • @JonniDDR are you kidding me this isn't a set up its' a good story and it shows that people with disabilities are able to do things like their peers and for your information i am someone who has a learning disability and this is a feel good story to prove that those of us can succeed in things just others

  • I guess dragon breath prolly has no friends either.

  • Oregons2 my msn in profile! J Mac - Greatest Basketball Story Ever!

  • Whats the matter tadwight, did someone hurt your feelings ? Maybe you should have thpught about that before ypu slammed jason the autistic boy. Baby..

  • Tadwight sucks

  • @Superredhawk444 You have been reported fucking bitch

  • Jason, you are useless

    I have a life, unlike you

    No one will disagree

  • Jason, you are useless

    I have a life, unlike you

  • Comment removed

  • Jason sucks

  • Jason sucks

  • Jason sucks

  • @tadwight30 ah, but the constitution says I do. I know it's authority pales in comparison to the word of a random teenage loser whose parents didn't love him, but at least its something right?

    your plan is still considered to be illegal in every state with the possible exception of Texas. 10,000 counts of manslaughter vs. 10,000 counts of murder doesn't really make much difference if you think about it. not that you will do either. that would require initiative and a leadership ability.

  • @dragonestea ah are you an american?? No, you have no American values. So, no freedom of speech for you.

  • @tadwight30 You are so clearly un-american. You know what you sound like.. a Nazi. Don't try to pretend like your a patriot. Veterans have died to protect all Americans, disable or not, so that we can all live extraordinary lives. I think your jealous that a disabled kid got more respect in high school than you ever got. Your jealous that he got to have fans cheering for him and you didn't. Your jealous that he made in on ESPN, and that he's living a much happier life than you are.

  • @tadwight30 That isn't what the law says. If I were to walk out to the middle of Washington DC and yell "America blows chunks!" that would still be legal. but I don't want to. I love America because you can say whatever you want.

    but more importantly I AM AN AMERICAN! you think I live in New York. I actually live in the south, but both places are in America. either way you are just an idiot who says stupid things which are only legal because I'm right.

  • @dragonestea repsect?? i was one of the popular kids in high school. This mother fucker called Jason is an attention-seeking prat. You have been reported ctotheman for calling me a Nazi. I am a true patriot.

  • @tadwight30 You responded to the wrong person Mr. "true patriot." I'm not ctotheman, although he is correct in everything he says about you.

    I'm sure you are as competent in your ability to discuss autistics as yo are in pressing the correct respond button.

    also you are lying about being popular in high school. being a cranially challenged asshole makes you popular in middle school, but in high school everyone hates people like you.

  • @dragonestea Excuse me, how do you know how popular I am? superdick

  • @tadwight30 less popular than your average rotten zucchini I'd expect. anyone who uses the term "superdick" obviously has no friends.

  • @tadwight30 how about you SHUT THE FUCK UP?

    I look forward to this campaign of yours. I can't wait for you to realize that nobody agrees with you. also, did you know that in some cultures killing 10,000 people a year is highly illegal?

    of course, this campaign will never actually happen. it's like my death on February 25th. a way for you to act like your tough shit when your not. if we ever met face-to-face you would shit your pants and run home crying for mommy.

  • @tadwight30 college huh? that's funny beacause you act just like a little kid pretending to be 18 so that people will take him seriously, even though so far it hasn't worked. If you are actually 18 though you are currently 180,000 people short of your goal.

    I thought you said there were no autistic people? Oh wait, I forgot you were a hypocrite, never mind.

  • @tadwight30 I never changed my Email address, and I wouldn't be inclined to know much about being banned because unlike you I haven't been an asshole and I'v never been banned.

    unamerican values for liking Jason? underdog stories have been at the soul of American values since before we even declared independence. they are part of what defines us. take an AM STUD course some time. you are the unamerican one. you hate on underdogs and freedom of speech and you hate on the autistic minorty.

  • @tadwight30 well gawrsh, those first two times you reported me I didn't care, but since this is three times now I......... don't fucking care. It's actually kind of pathetic to watch you try to exert power when you so obviously have none.

  • @dragonestea Hope you and Jason have a long and happy marriage.

  • @tadwight30 Oh, gee, you've never made that joke before. face it, you are completely out of ways to insult me.

    I do, however, have to wonder as to why your sad, stupid little brain thought it was a good idea to report hippitheman. that's like suing someone for saying that their coffee needs sugar. everyone in this nation has a constitutional right to freedom of speech. if that were not true you would be in prison right now because, in case you didn't notice, noone supports you.

  • @dragonestea No, you guys and Jason are commies, so I'm giving you no freedom of speech. YOU WILL CHANGE. I am having a second id give me what you are saying. LMAO. I can see your comments. Also, I have had youtube ban you for spam and abusive text. Bye now.

  • @tadwight30

    1. communists hve free speech in America too

    2. I am not a communist, and you don't even know what the word means. the idea of all property belonging to the government has nothing to do with this

    3. I will not change

    4. I don't appear to be banned, so obviously your threats are hollow

  • @dragonestea nice work getting a new id bitch. Second, communists do not allow freedom of speech, so they get none. You will change. You will obey American values. You have 2 1/2 months left. Make the most of it. I do know what a communist is. Your current id will be banned as well.

  • @tadwight30 freedom of speech IS an American value you reality-challenged nimrod.

    why do you think saying things like "you will change" and "you will obey" will work on me? news flash: you have no jedi mind powers.

    this isn't a new ID. my username is exactly the same as it was before, and youtube doesn't allow two identical usernames. I was never banned. you are pathetically trying to convince yourself that you have power over me.

    YOU HAVE NO POWER!!! MWAHAHAHAHA!!!

  • @tadwight30 or perhaps it is because I have no idea who you are. maybe the people who live at that address you made up will tell me who you are when you show up at their place only to realize that no 6'7" 18 year old lives there.

    I'm going to bed now. with your girlfriend. she says she doesn't love you anymore and that you should go play in traffic. I'll continue to make your schizophrenic brain do summersaults tomorrow.

  • @tadwight30 ... my point is that it would be front page shit, but I never even heard of Jason till a few days back. then I saw you commenting on all his videos, and since I like to argue with idiots on youtube I was like "jackpot, surely that is the biggest loser on the site"

  • @tadwight30 No I won't change, but I'll enjoy watching your pathetic attempts to change me.

    I'm pretty sure that if I did have a brother who was killed by a group you support I wouldn't be denying it. I would be trying to make yo pay for it. I would be enraged that you were behind them. but I'm not. you are a source of entertainment to me, not fury. that's because there is no group that kills over Jason. hell, its newsworthy when people kill over gay rights and that's a much bigger issue.

  • What the fuck is Ripley's??? Second, you are not the oldest John. Nathan was.

  • @tadwight30 Ripley's Believe It or Not, the compilation of unbelievable, unusual, and incredible things. and my name is William. and I'm the oldest, and Nathan is a figment of your Schizophrenic imagination.

  • @tadwight30

    1. yes you did. read your comment. uness you're saying I must be older. which is also stupid. height is no judge of age, especially extreme height like mine

    2. Nathan never existed, and I'm the oldest in the family

    3. if you were in an hour long staring contest it would be in ripley's believe it or not, not a youtube comment

  • @tadwight30

    1. hate to break this to you, but there isn't a following of Jason haters, it's all just you. Nathan doesn't even exist. I have a brother, but he's 13. and his name is Luke.

    2. how would being 6'7" make me younger? you are really stupid if you think people shrink between the ages of 16 and 18.

    3. try holding your eyes open for ten minutes. then try doing it with your own caked blood in your eyes. it will hurt and you won't be able to blink it away.

  • @dragonestea Dude, I never said people shrink between 16 and 18. Second, I have done a staring contest for over an hour. Nathan doesn't exist now. He did until he was put down. If you were telling me the truth, why would you tell me your brother's name??? Boy, you are dumb.

  • @tadwight30 there are a million 13-year-old Lukes in America. besides, you're harmless. you like to talk big, but given your massive inferiority complex you must be short, fat, weak, or some combination of the above. you are powerless. that's why a successful autistic kid makes you jealous. that's why you try to destroy him

  • @tadwight30 hmmm, I'm not taking your advice, so I must not be scared. Im still online. Im 18, not 16. you are still schizophrenic. or stupid. there really isn't a middle ground. I wish I knew who you really were so I could either get you help for the first option or torture you for the second. Im thinking it would be nice to cut off your eyelids to cause you unrelenting pain and give you. an unbroken view of me boning your girlfriend.

  • @tadwight30 Oh, yes, the fact that you can pull random addresses out of your ass totally makes you right. please feel free to check the place any time and then let me know because I'll be down here in the south at my real address being oblivious to your actions.

    Overzealousness in protecting your girlfriend is consistent with schizophrenia. continuing to reference the date of an imaginary occurrence is too. talk to a shrink. you need help.

  • You're going to fornicate my girlfriend? When I get my hands on you you son of a bitch you will be sorry. Feb 25.

  • @tadwight30 When I get my hands on her she won't be sorry, she'll be like "oh, oh, if only that lame ass who was paying me earlier was this big. then I would have pretended to like him for free."

  • @dragonestea Bitch, I swear, the only woman you'll ever get is Jason McLoserwain. You will never touch her. I am not paying her. She actually likes me for who I am.

  • @tadwight30Thats not what she told me, or maybe it was. its always hard to tell when a woman is trying to talk with my dick in her mouth

    as for my personal information you were pretty close. you got everything right except my street, street number, town, state, zip code, area code, phone number, name, and the name of my brother

  • @dragonestea No, I got everything right boy. You will pay. You won't be talking shit when I show up to your front door. My girlfriend is well protected. Even if you do take me out, which I highly doubt, you deal with my friends, and then you deal with her friends. So shut the fuck up, you make yourself look dumb.

  • @tadwight30 right. when you show up on the doorstep in the wrong state I will pay. You might want to try south of the mason-dixon line. also, are you trying to tell me you set up bodyguards for your gf? I hope you don't actually believe any of this shit you're saying, because if you do then the only explanation is that you have schizophrenia. I guess that would also explain why you think autism is made up. you hear voices and hallucinate and lose the ability to tell imagination from reality.

  • @dragonestea lol i didn't have to set up bodyguards for my girlfriend. Secondly, south of the mason dixon line?? Are you racist? My girlfriend is mixed. Third, I know you live in Albany, New York, so don't try and kid yourself. Finally, me having schizophrenia??? ROFL. You're just afraid of the day when I come. Now you can move south of the mason-dixon line, but you live in Albany, New York right now. However I can google you if you move anyway. Autism is made up and you will admit it. SCUMBAG.

  • Comment removed

  • @tadwight30 Not all southerners are racist, but the only reason you think that that is true and that autism is false and that I live in New York is because those voices in your head told you while you were having a hallucination about your imaginary mixed-race girlfriend. you have schizophrenia. seek professiona help.

  • Who is the tallest basketball player?

  • aw, isn't that cute? the little asshat thinks he has a girlfriend. she must be the absolute love of his life, and she's so nice she only charged $100 extra to tell you that you're the love of hers.

    feel free to answer in you're own time. I can wait. I have things like going to an elite private boarding school to occupy my time, so I can wait. more likely however you will log on as soon as you wake up and be unable to stop yourself from responding to me because deep down you're afraid im right

  • @dragonestea ROFLMAO you are such a loser. My girlfriend is no hooker you fucking damn loser. The fact is that I have a life and you don't. Elite boarding school. Did you steal the money?

  • @tadwight30 I see. your point being that a criminal record is helpful when being accepted to a school. did you steal the money for your hooker girlfriend?

    I've been meaning to ask you: you keep calling Jason retarded because he has autism, but you also say that autism doesn't exist. unless of course you mean he's just a retard pretending to be autistic. only problem is that would take some serious planning, which retards can't do. (because a fairly large percentage of retards are retarded)

  • @dragonestea ROFL. Number one, I said autistic people are shams. Autism is a hoax. He is just downright retarded without msitua. YOU WILL CHANGE YOUR WAYS. YOU WILL NOT SUPPORT SO-CALLED AUTISTIC PEOPLE. THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT. PEOPLE FEELING SORRY FOR THEM. YOU HAVE BEEN REPORTED.

  • @tadwight30

    1. I already explained to you why that explanation doesn't work. read more carefully

    2. Please do not labor under the impression that I care what you think. I will support whoever the hell I want, and your childish insults are not even obstacles to that support

    3. You reported me already. I'm not sure why you think youtube is here to defend your insecure ass or why you think I care any more now than I did last time, but I guess you're just an idiot.

  • @dragonestea You will care. You will change your ideals. You already have caused yourself enough danger on Feb 25. You will obey me.

  • @tadwight30 Now you've gone from immature to completely insane. You can't kill me because you have no idea who I am (not that it would matter if you did)

    I won't care because I find you to be laughable, not intimidating, but whilst we're in this train of unreasonable thought, I might as well tell you that I will fornicate with your hooker girlfriend on your grave.

    now that we've established that I can say stupid things just like you, you can try saying smart things just like me.

  • @dragonestea 11201 E. Quebec Ave. Albany, NY. 12201. Phone Number 518-657-8212 You are John. Your bro was Nathan.

  • darn, I did want to get offline, go to bed, and start this conversation again tomorrow, but now I guess I have to stay up just to defy you. maybe it will give me a chance to contemplate all the many ways you are going to kill me using your vas knowledge of who I am, where I live, and what I look like. but I do believe you are tracking Jason. not in person of course, that would require actual effort, but you do stalk all his videos. does that make you feel like a man? you're just obsessed.

  • @dragonestea LOL fuck no. Number one, I do the dirty work myself. I make sure it's done right. Shut up. February 25, 2011. I can't wait. The actually funeral service is up to your husband Jason.

  • @tadwight30 I would love to stay up all night and listen to you talk about how you like to stalk boys with autism, but here on the east coast it's past 12:00. what say I continue to make you look stupid tomorrow? I hope by then you will have gained the ability to actually try to make your point instead of spewing death threats that you have neither the info nor the balls to act upon. night.

  • @dragonestea Number one, I have the balls. Number two, I have a life. I can't be on all the time. Number 3, I'm going to sleep with my girlfriend tonight. Number 4, you can suck on Jason in bed.

  • 5 people played on the losing team.

    This is one of the most motivational hoop stories of all time.

  • Guys, i have tried everything and found some

    useful ways to grow taller. Email me.

  • My god this is so touching. It made me cry....

  • Dumb-ass coach should have put him in earlier!!!

  • this really touched me...I saved it in my favorites..I have an autistic daughter, but she is very severe..she is 10, but is like a big 2-3 year old..I know that she is smart, but since she can't communicate, I am not sure what all she does know.

  • Get taller ! here is the solution " helpo growth formula"

    google it.

  • my son is a 5 year old autistic. he pasted these rules in our living room asking everyone to listen and be nice.

  • Great video

  • stud.

  • this made me emotional becuz im a big basketball fan n that kid got his shot now im going for mine

  • chalino sanchez or what????

  • 3 people missed the "like" button

  • @hippitheman 5 people clicked correctly you have been reported hippi

  • 3 people r jerks

  • @Sp333dy1 Seems to be 3 dumbasses...

  • i love reading some of these comments from those who bash this kid what if this was your classmate would you bash him behind his back yes he's got a disability but it's more of an ability he also has the passion of basketball he's coaching now not many people who have a rare disability like autism has an opportunity for a situation like what he was able to do

  • @HonorableMinisterRay i'd say this man was blessed with this child, not punished as you say. and you call yourself " Honorable" and a

    " minister....more so " Dishonorable" with a comment like yours.

    if you are truly a minister you should know that only GOD can pass judgement.

    and GOD shines in this young man!

  • this story its very inspirational.. everything is possible..

  • Comment removed

  • Truly a beautiful story. It's things like this that make the world a better place.

  • this is truly special to see his classmates show so much enthusiasm for him. when i was in school he would have never been given a chance. we've came a long way. good job coach!

  • @HonorableMinisterRay No sins could have been committed. Just cause J Mac has autism, it doesn't neccesarily mean it was because his parents sinned. Those with disabilities have them so that the glory of God can be shown through them. Isn't J Mac a great inspiration to us all? Is he not successful now? The man born with no limbs, he graduated with a masters at university. Perhaps God's purpose for him was to inspire others and save them from giving up on themselves :) (John 9:1-7)

  • @ilivewithbob

    I live with bob also.

  • ball hog

  • Best story ever!!!

  • i read your book and youre amazing!!

  • Hell yeah man, you're awesome!

  • Wonderful

  • I would put him in my starting line-up.. I mean he shoots like crazy, a real SG !!!

  • Biggest coaching mistake ever... he only played him 4 minutes. Coach should have played him the whole season!!!

  • @Monkey200728 true!!

  • Hot as a pistol.

  • JONNI...your a moron and lifeless person not to feal inspired by this story.They didnt defend him huh?Maybe maybe not...but i bet you caint shoot 6-8 3pointers with just your dumb ass all alone in any gym in the world,much less on the court with other players and the crowd...you need to jump off a cliff NOW..cause your contribution to society will be a hinderance!!

  • sry didnt mean to give u thumbs down, was sposed to be jonniddr

  • All I can say is....such an inspiring, beautiful story.

    Shooting for hours and hours alone in the gym, selflessly helping his team in any way he can and pushing himself every day for just one shot.

    Jason is a reminder for me to not take for granted the opportunities I have been given, and to push myself to reach those goals as much as he does for his. Thank you Jason, your story really does inspire me to do better.

  • No thats childish but don't say anything when God does something bad to yhur tarted ass ... Then yhur dumb bitch MF ass when regret this shit! SmD

  • Get inspired!!!!

  • Wow, some of you folks just dont get it (kasterwyatt, Foreignkidd). And if your shallowness was not enough to make us sick, you guys decide to add an extra helping of narcissism. We care about J-mac and his success; ask yourself how many people feel the same way about you?

  • @LGBrannan LMFAO. No one cares for him. He a crying fag. Fuck off. Loser.

  • @tadwight30 I detect a note of jealousy in your answers on this post. You seem to have an unreasonable hatred for this young man. I am serious in my curiosity as to why you hold such great animosity for someone you have never met. An inspiring story should evoke positive emotions, Why so negative?

  • @MrAndyBear 1. You call this story inspiring??? LMFAO. You are a loser if that is. Second, he ain't a man, he look like a martian. Third, you calling me jealous of such a sad story like Jason? Quit making me sick from laughing so hard.
