Everytime I see and hear this story...here come the waterworks. I'm rarely this touched by such things, but this one gets me everytime.
Thanks Jason!

If the story says he's 5'6", maybe it's a typo by somebody and it should be 5'9". That would make more sense from the look of things. Either that, or he's wearing boots or shoe lifts or something...

In for only four minutes and the kid is in double digits. Maybe the coach should have tapped this talent earlier.
Great story.

More recently, JMac's team played my town's team in the playoffs.
Our team won and there was some taunting. (Na-Na-Na-Na, Na-Na-Na-Na Goodbyeeee)
JMac flipped the bird to the my town's fans.
But at least he had enough sense to be polite to the President.

As I pointed out when I posted the original story on FR, 20 points in four minutes is a rate of 160 points per game. I also fought back tears when I saw the film footage and interview of this story. I knew Hollywood would be interested, I just hope they don't screw it up.

Coach should've been suiting him up long before the final game.
Exactly. Obviously, the kid is a deadly accurate shooter. The coach must have asleep at the wheel to have not noticed sooner.

Bush bestows yet another blessing! I so Love & Respect this Man. Worthy is he to be used as a prime dictionary definition of A Man!
& So exciting for the Basket Ball wonder boy! Both, for making all those baskets and now getting the joy of a meet & greet with President Bush...Nothin' but neat!
BTW Bookmarked it in my FR Links!

I can totally relate about the "waterworks"...I was driving when I first heard the story on XM radio, the tears were certainly flowing! Such a heartwarming story...can't wait for the movie!
