I dont know i think this is a pretty good story...

i mean he didnt just hit a three pointer (that would be luck) he hit 6 of them in four minutes...


I mean six threes in one game would be a school record at some high schools...

Hell i consider myself a sharpshooter and i never hit more than three 3's in a game (granted my coach would have shit himself if id taken six threes in four minutes).

i find it fairly amazing that even a team manager could drop 20 in four minutes, let alone an autistic one...

Autism is a spectrum disorder, people classified as autistic are not necessarily low functioning and in fact many have spectacularly high IQs and unusual aptitudes.

wasnt his team already winning by a large margin? tard should be ashamed for rubbing it in the other teams face, not making a movie which shows how badly the other team was whipped. that kid is a poor sport...

No one ever said stupidity was associated with autism. But I'm sure that he was ostracized from a lot of his peers, and had more difficulty in succeeding in his personal goals than most other teens his age. Congrats for him for getting the attention he deserves!

I think what he did was awesome... and if he wants to make some money for it to be comfortable, then have at it
