JMac 1 ESPN

[holayoungchapiamanda]

Used this when I lead FCA(Fellowship Christian Athletes). Everyone was either crying or got chills, God was certainly there, what an amazing feeling!

[cynatrick]

i wish there was a video on him accepting his espy award on here

[jujufromME]

wow

[8888richie]

Thumbs up with you went outside and start playing basketball after watching this video (:

[brazilnut36]

[MrBengals04]

I cried 4 years ago when i last saw this, did the same today... what a wonderful story

[auto98]

So..um...poor coaching for not selecting him earlier in the season :D :D

[IowaStreetBalla]

Greatest Basketball Story Ever!!

[pixarian]

good grief, this story gets me every time :)

[CyKoPathiK12]

That was my old gym teacher 2005-2006:P

[nandagiri]

hey coach, maybe you should have played him a bit more, eh?

[SoundbombSoldier]

one of the most amazing sport stories ever

[davisn30]

i love this video

[MrMicraphone]

Its so hard not to shed a tear watching this ..

[rhycar1]

Still the greatest sports story ever told. As long as I live, I'll never forget Jason McElwain.

[airr916]

did he only played 1 game???

[Abyss2002]

@airr916 Yep only one

[combatdstar]

I'm gonna share this

[youngjezzy2432]

damn dat dawgs got skill

[CrikeyAlexNick]

Tom Rinaldi is a great writer...I love his pieces.

[lakersfan221]

20 points in 4 minutes

fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hockeypat222]

jmac is nice man

[ryanmonnt]

youra fag

[talentedq]

Not only did he score 20, but he shot over 50% from 3-point range after NOT playing a single game in high school. That is unbelievable for anyone autistic or not.

[Libnanman]

@talentedq If he played the whole game at that rate, he would have scored 200 points.

[Libnanman]

@talentedq If he played the whole game at that rate, he would have scored 200 points.

[Libnanman]

@tadwight30 what are you trying to say?

[Libnanman]

@tadwight30 You're cool

[philipem01]

@talentedq And did it all in 4 minutes. They must have kicked themselves for not putting him in the whole season. I happen to think this would be a great story if he never scored a point.

[jab904]

Jonni's missing the point. Even if he wasn't autistic, it would still be an awesome story. If you played in high school, you always had the kid that never got in a game, and when he did, you wanted him to make a shot. Jason scored 20, and that's just awesome.

[funnyman2424]

Yea I know how you feel. I played ball in higschool and we had one of those guys. He didnt score 20 but it was a pretty cool night!!

[jtagz346]

i went to athena jay still lives a few streets behind me.....hes not full blown gone but he isnt all there either....

i was at the game it was crazy i still get chills every time i see it n ive seen it a thousand times

[TheVizionary]

[squeekycheeks]

[pyhbruins]

[AgentZeroForTheWin]

[BALLERamaBaby]

[holdemjunkie21]

[Bac0817]

This story can only happen in America...

[Fusionhawk4]

A truly great story, this put a smile on my face. :)

[unitedman]

great..

[MyLifeWillChange]

oh my gosh! thats amazing! thats so sweeeet! all those people cheeering for him and being so loving rushing the court! AMAZING! i am not a fan of sports but that sure gets me pumped! : ) God Bless the Coach and his friends and JMAC. i have GOT to share this!

[funnyman2424]

Im not sure why this is negative...

[baubret]

That coach deserves a medal. How many people would do that in this world today? Great Story.

[sullyman59]

Coolest thing I've ever seen. My son is 3 and mildly autistic, I live with it every day. We just watched this together. Couldn't get the smile off my face...gave me goosebumps.

[scorp66scott]

Should be required viewing for all. I can't watch this story without tearing up. This kid has done more in his young life; given more hope to his disabled peers, than most people will ever do. God bless him.

[DashBX809]

ONLY 20 POINTS, HE SUCKS

[kimjongsyrj]

Nice job encoding this, looks great.
