    Great story, but...

    ... why didn't this kid get a chance before this? Apparently he's got some game!

    It also reminded of a JV basketball game I saw when I was in middle school. We had a kid on our team who was disabled (I forget what his condition was). He'd be put into games late if it was a blowout either way, and would just hang out near the basket. One game near the end of the season, he caught a pass and from a good distance just nailed a tough shot. Like in this story, the place exploded. He didn't go on to score 20 points, but it was a really nice moment.
