Basketball Player Wins Despite Missing Fingers

A Missouri basketball player has never let a so-called disability slow him down.

Aaron Cooper is the starting point guard for North Platte High School. He handles the ball for his team and scores and average of 10 points a game.

And he does it all with hands that have only a thumb and a pinky finger.

It's a genetic condition -- Cooper's father is the same way.

"It doesn't bother me. I just play," Cooper said.

Cooper recently hit a three-pointer at the buzzer to win a game for North Platte.
