  • This video gave me goosebumps:) I love it

  • I bet coach feels a little dumb using this young man as a manager for years.

  • I have austism. Aspergers syndrome to be exact.

  • Great video. Someone from my church got me to check it out. I really enjoyed watching this. I almost cried.

  • I don't care who brought you here. Obviously you didn't know this story unless you brought yourself.

  • So if he is *that* good, why have they had him bringing water and serving his team mates who are lucky enough to make the team? This seemed like a horrible film, for that reason... seems like discrimination against someone who is autistic let up for an afternoon.

  • This gave me chills. That was amazing. I loved it!

  • BRAFF BROUGHT ME HERE

  • My son is severely autistic and fortunately diagnosed very early when we pushed for specialists to look into his developmental issues. He has gone from being diagnosed as non verbal at the age of 4 to a bright, enthusiastic and polite child who, although he struggles to cope with some things in this world, has shown immense aptitude in reading and mathematics. This story is inspirational and I hope that one day I will be able to show it to him so he can see that there are limitless possibilities

  • @darklyangelic I really hope you get to show this to your son someday. For whatever it's worth, many of the most amazing things go undiscovered, and this video is a rare exception...

  • Cant be good for my manliness to cry this much

  • fuck zach braff so hard.

  • AMAZING!

  • Great!

  • Awesome video! Thanks for sharing! JP

  • Thumbs up you think it was your appreciation for an inspirational story that brought you here, not Zach Braff.

  • you make me proud bro. :)

  • Wow, I feel so happy for him!

  • WHO'S CUTTING ONIONS IN HERE?!

  • 41 people dont know what it means to be loved like this

  • He did this in the 4th quarter? what's your excuse LeBron?

  • he is not autistic when it comes to the game of basketball!! good work bro

  • Another great example that if you love what you do there is no stopping you!

  • 41 people are idiots!!!

  • Amazing

  • Wow. Amazing story. A few tears.

  • I'd rather have his autograph than Lebron James' autograph.

  • It's odd because i just posted a note on facebook about people who seek out stories or music they don't like, and leave nasty, foul comments. I think it is such a waste of time to do that rather than seek out what you like for enjoyment. For people like @syzygy500 I guess that is what they like. They have no joy in their lives, so they try to spread that around. I went to his page to let him know what I thought of his stupidity, but his account has been closed (like his mind). Very nice story.

  • Seriously, I LOVE Zach Braff for linking stuff like this. Great guy!!

  • autism doesnt make him special, just saying

  • Drainin em

  • Fantastic story.

  • this is awesome.

  • @russianlollypop I found it (It was on page 11 or 12 of the comments for me). Trust me, it's that bad. And being 11 is no excuse. No one has any right to say things like he did.

    This is a great, inspirational story. I'm glad there's still some good in the world.

  • @Jawceps Completley take it back....... syz deserves death from a stonefish overdose

  • @Jawceps i cannot find out what the hell syzygy501 said but im sure it couldent have been that bad..... jawceps thats some pretty harsh stuff you saying...... syz is probly like 11 anyway

  • Wonderful video, thanks Zach.

  • not gonna lie one of the best vids ive seen... top lad

  • zach braff brought me here but cool vid none the less

  • Fuck Zach Braff, I'm here because of YAGB

  • What a champion!!!

  • this is nice, i go to school with two autistic kids and they are just like anyone else, just have a different way of expressing themselves and/or understanding a few concepts, but they are the kindest guys at school although they are shy... Also wats up with all the bad comments on syzygy, he probably doesnt know wat autism is idk :D

  • thanks zach!

  • keine behinderten.

  • RUDY RUDY

  • RUDY!!! RUDY!!! RUDY!!!! RUDY!!!!

  • Yes Zach Braff brought me here. No I'm not giving you a thumbs up. Truly remarkable story!

  • Good for him, proud of him.

  • Which pixel is jason?

  • This is so awsome ..made my year ..go j mac.

  • 37 dislikes? Well, that's the final nail in the coffin of my belief in humanity

  • Best sports story I've heard in some time. Makes these NBA players fighting over paychecks look foolish.

  • it's awesome how his dad just took a wild chance on him and God showed out...truly amazing

  • I love this, this shows us never to give up on our dreams..

  • Haha this is the best sports moment I've ever seen... "Hot as a pistol" ftw

  • This is so cool!!! I cried like a baby hahah

  • 37 people dont have hearts

  • This definitely made my day :)

  • Amazing!

  • that is the most amazing thin i have ever heard of

  • He's the man right on buddy

  • Think the ones with faul comments are mentally incapable of understanding autism. I have been diagnosed as a kid with Autism, though I am by far more intelligent than the haters out here. I had to learn how to be social, took me a while to talk and walk. But I am not a Senior IT Admin, Have my Engineers diploma in electra, speak 7 languages, and rake in more money than most, as well as having dated Miss New Zealand, and 2 Australian Swimsuit Models with my "retardness" Eat that one losers.

  • @b12blib This is a very inspiring video and you sir are a true inspiration to not only parents who have kids with Autism but to others who are having a hard time dealing with it...shake them low life haters off and pay them no attention. I bet your family is proud of you

  • @MrsDenise83 Thanks Denise. The people that should be an inspiration are primarily my parents. It was hard for them back in the days to get any type of help or info on Autism, but they managed to find the appropriate resources. They were very patient, and tried to make me understand things that for "Normal" people would just be a given. I used to not talk at all, and was slow on learning some things. Without them, I would have been a different person. Not dumb. Just different.

  • And I'm not too shabby at Basketball either haha. I just know where to aim the ball at. Generally goes in from anywhere. As long as I can see the board. Autists are frequently mathematical wizards.

  • @b12blib I dont think Autistic people are dumb, just think or react differently but are still human and designed by God...I commend your parents for being who they are, I'm sure there wasn't much literature for them to use as a guideline...just last year and stupid lady down here in Dallas killed her two YOUNG kids because they were autistic, truly a sick story to watch...my hat goes off to the parents who try to learn their child's mind and push them to be "normal"... but then, what is normal?

  • @MrsDenise83 Dumb is what some people lable autistic people as. Its merely that Autists are misunderstood, as they interpret things differently, (In my experience, I might not be as heavily affected I guess) I actually met a kid nearby where I live, he is definitally autistic. His parents put not control on him. I tried talking to help, but they are too embarrased. Thats just pathetic. He talks well, but stares at tree's and swears at them loudly. He just needs help. Thats the world right now.

  • ahhh i love this shit

  • This is so heart-warming. It just goes to show you that no matter what their disability, kids with special needs are amazing and talented people. 

  • this is amazing. all you haters bounce! no one cares about you...matter of fact, we all about to start ignoring you

    GO J MAC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Wow.can't stop watching this.What an inspiration!Tears?...what tears? I got something in my eyes...oh what the heck..I'm crying like a baby!!

  • @hagymanutube2002 lol i know - and i KEEP replaying it and I KEEP sobbing

  • This is absolutely beautiful!! I am watching this clip for a Diversity class and I am in tears. 

  • No matter how many times I view this clip, I love it even more

  • I haven't cried like that since Titanic. Beautiful.

  • Awesome!

    

  • Your meaningless life which puts you 2 days closer to hell

  • @sygyzy501

    Seriously it's not autistics we should terminate it's the scum of the earth like you. You are the dumbest cruelest bastard I've ever heard of and you should have been aborted by ur mom with a coat hanger. Just cause autistic people are all smarter than you doesn't mean you should pick on them. But it doesn't matter what you say because there is a a dirty spot in hell for you where the devil can rape you with a rusty 9 inch nail. I know that reading this probably took like 2 days of

  • honestly that is awesome, but he doesn't seem that autistic to me, seems pretty normal kid.

  • @mattc941

    there is autism, as well as the autism spectrum with asperger's and pervasive developmental disorder, the spectrum are higher-functioning forms of autism (i.e. temple grandin)....which doesn't really matter because he is an inspiration regardless of diagnosis. this was so awesome.

  • awww! (:

  • Dear everyone: Stop being trolled, watch the video, then comment on the vid instead of the other users being jerks.

  • I got the chills

  • This is amazing.

  • syzygy501 has closed his account for being a moron.

  • @syzygy501 how can anyone be as fucked up as you :| mate thats fucking weird, and just because this kid has autism doesn't make him less of a person than you, you sick little cunt :|

  • Autistics >>>>>>>> syzygy501 & syzygy500

  • this is awesome.... but check out "talkin with jmac"

  • There are not enough characters to give you a grammar lesson, nor do I have the desire to teach you a thing or two. Perhaps you could enroll in a class at “college” that focuses on this.

    In short, you’re a disgrace; you should be ashamed of yourself. People like you destroy the world for the rest of us. If only your parents had done a better job at raising you.

    P.S although I don’t know her, I am so happy for the girl you broke up with. Phew -now she has a chance at a normal life.

  • @syzygy500 I disagree openly.

    Perhaps you should read academic journals or scientific research (as opposed to articles) before you begin writing this complete nonsense.

    You are clearly uneducated. If I were you I would keep my thoughts to myself for the time being, as your commentary is only a true display of the fool you are. You’re a menace to society.

    In the mean time, get reading buddy (you might want to take some grammar lessons too) & you might actually learn about the condition.

  • @syzygy500 Well it's your opinion but as you can see everyone diagree with it because

    1. all you said was negative and not the fact

    2. proove it to us legitly and we will still not be on your side

    3. People like haven't learned being treated like crap.

    4.You reply to this negative i am not joking but this will show that you have no respect and should learn some

  • @syzygy500 I openly disagree and dislike your comment too. So what price exactly am I going to pay?

  • @syzygy501 Just another shitty troll with stolen insults that just plain suck. Try a different approach, you raging faggot.

  • @syzygy501 Get a job.

  • Comment removed

  • @syzygy501 Shut up.

  • @syzygy501 Our comments are very offensive? You're the one saying we should hunt down and kill all Austistic people, and saying you beat them up just because you are bored. You are a trator to the human race as a whole, Just because someone has "Autism" doesn't mean they are any worse then you are. You are a horrible person, i've met plenty of autistic people who are alot smarter and more mature then you'll ever be.

  • @syzygy501 shut up hitler

  • @syzygy500 What price? What could you're puny, impotent, little self do? You talk big online when no actual person is in front of you! You're pathetic!

  • "Hot as a pistol," he was ! God bless his coach for letting this young man shine. What a wonderful video. Thanx for uploading...truly inspirational !

  • I'm surprised that you CAN read.

    Gee, I wonder - how come babies can't talk from birth, how come they can't walk?

    B/c they're still developing and thus autistic symptoms are not identifiable. Some of the diagnosis centres around play, social interaction and eye contact (which babies don't do from birth).

    Judging from your English and myopic comments, you're clearly just some young guy baiting me. Magazines' and 'articles' are not the same as scientific, peer-reviewed journals.

    Over n out, jerk

  • @syzygy500 there's no word to describe what an offensive tosser you are. A great shame you weren't aggressively aborted by the no-doubt inbred hicks u call parents.

    It's bigoted, xenophobic air-thieves like you that need to be eliminated from the world. Maybe try reading a scientific journal or 2 and see the genetic EVIDENCE for the existence of autism. I see those suffering it and those affected by it every week - they're not 'inventing' the condition.

  • @syzygy500 Your comments are very offensive. It's a real shame that there are people like yourself in this world that hold these kinds of beliefs.

  • @AKGreenfield AMEN!!!!

  • @syzygy500 You don't even deserve my time. Fuck off.

  • @syzygy500 Fuck. You.

  • That is so cool!!! Great job!!!

  • 36 people got snubed by J. Mack 4 an autograph.

  • 36 people hate life - how could anyone dislike this... one of the greatest sports stories ever

  • This kid caught fire!!! Very inspirational story and kuddos to the coach who put him in.

  • @mrsuperduperanthony Have you no soul

  • this vid is gay who  gives a shit

  • @MrSuperDuperAnthony someone is clearly a bench warmer

  • this kid is amazing.. but you also gotta give props to the other team and other coachs.. they played D on him for his first shot 5 feet wide.. then let him go.. who cares about a HS game but to him that was probibly the best moment in his life.. well maybe second best.. he did beat Kobe Bryant for an espy in the same category hah

  • Chillz

  • thats pretty awesome

  • this is an awesome video very inspirational

  • coach should of put him in the begging of the season, they would of made playoffs lol

    hey in high school his average was 20 pts. thats better then most dudes haha :)

  • This is still the coolest thing ever but we shouldn't be treating him different because he just wants to be treated the same I am sure. The people should have told him they were so happy because he did well and hadn't played before, not because he is autistic and did it.

  • amazing

  • Well I play basketball and he is way better than me, he is amazing!!

  • It was nice they gave a chance to play but draining 3s good job

  • I know what you're thinking, cause it's what I'm thinking: Why wasn't this kid on the starting five?

  • Thats sick! Its nice to see he was given a chance

  • fair play of the coach givin him a game

  • Amazing story!

  • I Got chills from this video

    Everyone is given a chance

    in life

    And this kid got his :D

  • 30 people who disliked this video probably can't shoot for shit like this guy could.

  • Who is the tallest basketball player?

  • It's crazy man.... so good...

    He overcame his difficulties to perform that good.

    Very heart-warming video..

  • SIX THREE POINTERS IN A ROW??? O-O ...wow
