Well, that's 6 more points and one more basketball memory than I ever had in high school. Good on him.

[archona4]

@ShasoDnarb - Heck, I can't even hit a 3 point shot...

[calcatchem]

kids got game! very inspiring video

[groundpounder66]

that is so great! Good for him, no doubt! And he's pretty quick on his feet, too!

[sacasan2]

That's first class.  Good for him!

[ravetranceaddict2]

Saw this id in esp Rise as well and just had to check it out. Kid is amazing and an all out inspiration. S'no wonder he puts smiles on everyones faces.

[TJFitz2009]

this is amazing. i played basketball this year as well, its really just a great thing. This was just outstanding, and his first 3, he KILLED that boy hahahahaha

[onenakeddude]

i read about this in espn rise and had to look it up for myself. This is an inspiration to whoever has not succeeded in life. This kid must have faught so much to get to that point. i love the story and i love the character. congrats patrick and both teams for being very mature about the matter.

[ccole9754]

That was amazing!! Gave me the chills just by knowing how much it meant for the kid!

[ryanrobb]

that piece on CBS before the final four games was so sick. really great story and national coverage

[umichrich]

congrats! and lots of respect goes out to both coaches and the players on both teams

[opositor76]

Congratulations from Spain Pat!!

[iambrad419]

Brad Robinson

[pispot33]

TIBS! I'm proud you decided to sport the number 3 buddy!

I know you've wanted this forever buddy, I can remember you in Jr. High shooting hoops with Al every day at the annex for an hour after school was out!

Just goes to show that you get what you work for, and in Tibs case he definately deserved this. Hope to see you soon

[kdrayy]

Yeah, props to both coaches man.

That game must have meant a lot.

Im proud of him

[BerthaAndMaude]

My 18 year old daughter wishes you lived in our town -- she'd like to ask you out! We saw you on the evening news and she said "Oooh, he's handsome..."

Fabulous playing Patrick!

[donvito989]

this guy is way better than j mac

[papasteve07]

Awesome.... True role model

[Meghan4ever]

omg!!! soo sweeeeet

[Canniescot]

At first I thought he missed all the shots. but i was wrong

[moousse]

THATS MY COUSIN PATRICK!!!!!!! way to go!!

absolutely amazing!

[rybo1122]

those shots are no flukes....pat can straight up stroke..during halftime of almost everygame he was out there draining shots. in the local news they had him hitting a full court shot....no sweat

[Shizue7]

Nothing but air and nothing but inspiration. Beautiful, Patrick!

[josespanishfly]

Hahaha it would be really tempting to just block the crap out of one his shots, and then flex ur muscles to the crowd. Or block him, and then give Patrick one of the Dikembe finger-wags. But no in all seriousness, that was great to see, and I hope that it was extremely special and meaningful for Patrick and his family, and it's something that he remembers forever.

[AstonMartin2214]

:) thats good what they did for him.

[crazymane1234]

magical

[JayyBlazeABlaze]

Well he has more range than i do.

[hypz]

Good job Patrick!

[Cybrax3]

What an awesome coach. I wish i hate a coach like that

[Denham3000]

From Toronto, Canada...

Tears in my eyes at the end there.

Bless him and the spirit of the event.

Make the controversy of things like the 100-0 girls game all the more clear.

Sport is about so much.

It's about opportunity, humanity and growth.

Bless him.

[jamoramajam]

gotta give both teams credit for letting him take those shots. They both understood what it meant to him =)

[Redsoxfanmatt]

He goes to my school =). When I saw that on the news, I was like.. WOW! Great job Pat.

[whatupwhatshaapnin]

OMG WHAT A CHUCKER

jk...good for him though

[StevenNBAplayer]

if i was in that game i would have blocked the crap out of that ball and dunked on the other end....jk jk its a reallly nice video though

[zacwynn]

That is so awesome. You know he is going to remember that forever!!!!!

[talltree42]

[simonlebon27]

LMFAO HAHAHAHAHHA funniest comment i have seen in a while...its the truth...idk this video makes me feel good inside about humanity lol

[pedizzle77]

[fffrankooo]

[adampatnaude3]

try and do what he does with the struggle and frustration he has for something so easy to us....

[Abusworld]

loooool.......dis is lyfe

[RationalThought12]

Well they tried to make it like that autistic kid, but it wasn't nearly as emotional, but nice job anyway.

[NigarT]

That 2-3 zone will allow this kind of stuff to happen

[warriorkid86]

hahahah niccceeeeeeee.

[iAmbitions]

..it'd be nice if you wrote the story in the description or something..

if there is a story.

[Chick6517]

That video was amazing. Can you explain to me how you got all of that on camera? Hahah, this is definitely a video to remember!

[josespanishfly]

I don't know. I'm guessing they taped the game while they were watching it from the stands. Just a guess.

[Perrybystorm]
