Awww. High School Basketball Player Passes Ball To Mentally Challenged Player...

What's so great about retards? I don't get why everyone is oooh-ing and awww-ing.

:loveit:

Such a nice story. Thank you for sharing this with us.

that is great

Lots of things seem wrong to me in this video. So they throw the ball to him out of pity, in the last moments of the game and that´s supposed to make him feel good?

Second, the boy makes a kind gesture towards someone and gets to be interviewed and praised like he´s the last coke in the desert - as if a kind attitude shouldn´t be the norm.

who do you think you are fooling, America has the most competitive education culture on earth. By the way the concept of "bullying" is tipically american, so is the term "LOSER'. Oh I know - I went to an American school as a child to be appalled to discover that the infamous stereotypes of the cheerleader and the team captain were real, not just some ridiculous fiction we saw in the movies.

Awesome!

Successful

And while you people are making yourselves feel good over something totally stupid, the all seeing eye of cbs is staring right at you. Get real.

God, and I thought I was a cynical prick...

marking this active to show the wife later.

thanks, TXGal.

uplifting.

vid made me cry also.. and not because of how "good" it was, but because of how ridiculously mean spirited it was. The coach and player taking interviews sucking up the role of being a "hero", making quotes that would be too cheesy even for a pg-13 kids sports hero movie. Give me a break, if you want to treat people how they want to be treated, you wouldnt have treated a mentally challenged person like a retard, and probably mostly just to bring attention to your "heroicness" to boot. Luckily the kid was probably mentally challenged enough to not realize how condescending these douchebags were, but the other kid J-mac with just high functioning autism in the other story just like this, im sure was well aware of that fact. The people that think this was a "feel-good" story make me wanna hurl.

Give the guy the ball until he makes it them scream your heads off..... How does this help anything in my opinion all it is doing is inflating his ego nothing about this has anything to do with love people are just getting all emotional because he is mentally challenged and feel they need to lift his spirits by going crazy for him making a basketball shot. It's ironic if you think about it he shouldn't be playing basketball obviously but because they need to be fair and treat him like everyone else they have to let him play but then they overreact when he makes a shot treating him much differently then everyone else.

THAT IS THE BEST THREAD YOU EVER POSTED.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.

GOD IS MERCIFUL ...YOU HATERS.
YOU SHOULD BE THANKFUL.

You mean to tell me that the Game is not important?
The Coach after screaming at his players now thinks...realizes that the Game is not Important.
That was the only thing in all of that... that made me happy.

The game is not important.

Now we have to tell that kid that too.

It worked!!!!! 5* for SENTIMENTALITY DOOM!!!!!!!

Remarkable video

This mentally challenged kid played as a conduit for the hearts of everyone. He represented that struggle to overcome the obstacles, that is inside all of us.

Teaches us to love and forgive ourselves, and provides the room needed to do the same for others.

Yes, after something like that, there is afterglow... and sometimes it can last a lifetime.

Very cool
