Kid w/ Autism Scores 20pts In 4 Min!--High School Hoops
I couldn't believe this video. What a story. The kid was more or less a mascot for the team, and then the coach decides to put him in a game towards the end of the season . . . next thing you know, he's raining 3s on the other team. Talk about the real "Rain Man". 20 in 4 min!!

I couldn't find a direct link to the video, but it is on cnn's home page right now. Just do a search on their site if it doesn't come up. The video on this kid is unreal. I love stories like that--overcoming adversity."Veni, Vidi, Vikings!"--Julius Caesar

It's also on ESPN Motion, if you've downloaded that program from espn.com
Here's a link to the motion guide:

It's near the bottom of the "Top Videos" listing.

That was amazing. That is going to be the highlight of that kid's life. Maybe the coach should have played him the whole year!

Thanks for hooking us up with the direct link, Prophet! Had to watch it again. Don't know if he plays good D, but what would it have been like had he played regularly? . . . you think you'd notice him droppin' down 3s in practice. Kid's simply awesome.
