I stopped watching when he fell on his butt.
I can't believe he won!
who said the gay community couldn't... never mind.
Unbelievable. A fantastic victory!
Morgan, and especially Paul, put our little burg of Waukesha on the MAP!!
Congrats on a great come-back.
I know they don't live around here anymore (training in Denver, I believe), but I hope Waukesha has a gold medal parade for him. I'd go!

Morgan Hamm More Than 'The Other Twin'
It happened a few years ago against the Sacramento Kings in game six of the Western Finals. He made his first 10 free throws --- CLICK.
And watch for those numbers to spike. That's what happened after the USA mens team took team gold in 1984, and same for Mary Lou Retton's gold medalist efforts in the same year.
It was amazing. I was so disgusted when he fell at the end of the vault. But I kept watching and cheering when everyone else made mistakes (I know, that was mean). There's no other way to describe it other than "amazing".
