This is what I am talkin about! MUST WATCH

The amazing story of Jason McElwain. Jason is autistic, and for years he helped coach his high school basketball team. The last game of the season, the coach let him play. A must watch.

Yeah, I watched that and was totally happy. That is what this world needs more of. Who cares if they win or lose, think of how much of an impact it made on him.

20 points in like six minutes of playing time. Maybe he should have been playing all season.

I saw this on the news last night. Several movie makers want to make a movie about this kid.

"and before you knew it the national networks and Hollywood filmmakers were calling J-Mac"

And more coverage

Sorry man. That's just what the local paper is calling him. I wasn't thinking about the national ramifications of my post.

No no, just seems to be the new trend for the media. To call people nick names. Blah.

No, no, ESPN started using it because that is what people call him around school, apparently he has been going by it for quite some time.

And how DARE you mention him in the same breath as K-Fed. :-P

Thumbs up They Won!!!!!!!!!!

Jason McElwain's team won the Section V championship game. Read all about it:

http://www.democratandchronicle.com/...73237685819701

He was also "hired" by the local pro team the Rochester Razor Sharks. The team gave him a life time season pass and donated $1000 to a local foundation.... And the Sharks won their game...

http://www.democratandchronicle.com/...73237686130747

Enjoy the read.
