Restoring faith in humanity... at least a small sliver of it...

Link includes video clip.

Synopsis: high school final basket ball game, a senior with a learning disability was the 'equipment manager' for his team.  During this last game, the coach put him in the game, and his team mates were told to make sure he gets at least one shot at a corner throw basket.  He gets his chance with like a minute left in the game, and misses.  A guy from the other team passes the kid the ball and he attempts 4 more times, finally landing a basket on his last attempt - crowd goes nuts.

With all of the b.s. floating around these days, it's nice to see some awesome sportsmanship on display by our youth.

Beautiful story. Hats off to both teams and their coachs for the lessons they have given the teams.
