J-mac (his nickname), an autistic senior in HS got in for 3 mintues in the final home game of the year and scored 20 points in 3 minutes. If you want to see the video, go to CNN.COM and on the right side of the page there is a box that has videos in it. Scroll down to "J-mac's hoop dream come true."
He actually got the school crunk probably for the first time in years

It was a little white boy with a headband who airballed his first three

. Nice though he scorched the other team.
Fri Feb 24, 2006 10:59 pm
Yeah I saw that

he's the school celebrity now apparentely. Good for him, though the coach is probably a bit pissed off that he never got more minutes.
Fri Feb 24, 2006 11:04 pm
Damn, I wish I could score 20 points in a game, let alone in 4 minutes.
I officially suck

saw this the other night....pretty cool
Sat Feb 25, 2006 12:08 am
Yeah I saw that on CNN, he is amazing.

Damn...I'm...getting...emotional.
Thats a nice story. It was crazy how the crowd went bananas when he was sinking those 3s.
"J-MAC!!!"
"J-MAC!!!"
"J-MAC!!!"

You can check it out on nba.com's TNT Overtime section.

Awesome for an autistic kid.
Go Jmac now they should think about a school position in the team.

Thanks for the link.

goddamn.. that is insane

Hopefully he can make it to the NBA someday
Edit: Was he the school waterboy also? I was watching Channel 10 in Sydney, Australia and the newsreaders of the 5:00 news said that but it wasn't mentioned in that video link to google.
Update: He wasn't. Bloody incompetent idiots. they got mixed up coz in the american media they were saying jmac's story is equivalent to a story of a waterboy getting called up and doing something special for a team but to repeat he wasnt a waterboy. Goddamn it again they suck these jurnos. I get quite edgey when the Australian media reports anything basketball related. If u need examples check out the Bogut Watch thread in nba talk. Also j-mac's family has hired an attorney to manage a deal from hollywood.
btw links for j-mac
story itself and evidence he's not a waterboy

no like just saying how impressive if a waterboy got called up and had to play and played well.

Which channel u catch it on?
Sat Feb 25, 2006 8:33 pm
Most autistic persons have one talent or skill that they're good at. In J-Mac's case, it's basketball.

Pretty sure it was Ten.

I know, I just couldn't help making the reference.

Please tell me that they won't do a movie about this. Please, don't ruin it this way.
