Hot as a pistol!

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.

Thank You for this

That was really wonderful to see

Ok, this is not a downer, but ...

if the kid can shoot 6 3-pointers, why can't he be on the team? If everyone was go damned warm on the kid and all, why doesnt' he play?

Sweeeet!

That was great!

A nice little boost to keep me working through the day.

Sure would be nice if Salon had a "good news" section that I could read each day.

Daily bouts of war, scandel, corruption and general bad news can be tiresome.
