What a wonderful story. Just watch:
Mitchell Marcus, the basketball team manager for Coronado High School in El Paso, Texas, is developmentally disabled. He loves the game, but isn’t able to play competitively. Nonetheless, Coach Peter Morales decided to put him in a game against Franklin High School.
His teammates wanted to give Mitchell a chance to sink a basket. But even after several attempts, Mitchell was unsuccessful. Franklin High School gained possession of the ball. That’s when Franklin High player Jonathan Montanez passed the ball to Mitchell for one more shot. Watch the video to see what happened next.

You should tag that NSFW. Started crying right here at my desk.
Thanks. What a story.
