One-Legged Wonder Makes Hall of Fame

Carl Joseph was elected to the Florida High School Athletic Hall of Fame on Feb. 23, 2009. CBS Sports Dan Dierdorf calls him "the most amazing athlete I've ever seen." Carl's unprecedented exploits have been memorialized in this video, using old game footage that had been lost to Carl for the last 29 years. The video shows why he was a legend in his own time. From sacking quarterbacks to dunking basketballs, he didn't let the mere absence of a leg stop him from competing as an equal and even excelling in high school sports. His story of faith, courage and heart inspired millions on TV in the early 1980s.

I got a picture with him today, and an autographed book. He is really nice and awesome.

How would you like it if you had one leg.

Im just a normal 5'7 hispanic kid and I have the ability to do some fancy dunks. Virtually anyone can dunk, just use the right workout. I took the one that can be found at 50inchvertical. com but virtually any training workout is good as long as they actually work however the truth is many do not

I would totally lose my focus if I saw him barreling towards me with one leg. Its something you don't see every day unless you were born with it/live with someone with one leg. So obviously the first reaction is an awkward one.

@ThrobZilla Your a cunt

(Eye witness) I had the opportunity to watch this man play in college and for someone to have one leg and to play with the intensity that he played the game is a one in a life time memory. Till this very day I will never forget seeing this man play in person.One day I just happened to tell this unbelievable story to my kids and they wanted proof that he actually existed so I was able to back up my history with this video thanks to youtube and this technology.This needs to be in the Hall of Fame.
