Nearly every day, Kevin Laue receives a letter from a stranger. - June 5, 2009 -
Italy, California, Texas, France. Last week he even heard from the father of a newborn from New York City, whose child has only one hand.
Its the same condition suffered by Laue.
He and his wife had their kid three weeks ago, Laue said. He said this was the first time since his baby was born that hes been happy, because he heard my story and realizes his kid could do anything.
Laue paused.
Its almost overwhelming, he said, to have this kind of effect on so many people.
Although hes yet to play a game, Laue recently became one of the most inspirational stories in college basketball when he signed a national letter of intent with Manhattan College.
Laue has dealt with the condition since birth, when his left arm was wedged between the umbilical cord and his head. While the situation kept the circulation to Laues brain from being cut off, it also stopped the blood flow in his arm, which stunted its growth
he'll never get accused of a hold.

I'm pretty sure he can swim since he only lost half of his arm.

I wonder if he can even swim with only one arm. I doubt he would make the NBA.

He would've been the next Olympic swimmer to go up against Michael Phelps if he was normal.
