Autistic Waterboy Catches Fire on Basketball Court

[Judge Smails]

<p>Unfortunately he walked off the court half-way through the 1st period because he said it was &quot;time for Wapner&quot;</p><p>But seriously, check out this video:&nbsp; <a href="http://www.wpxi.com/sports/7398385/detail.html">http://www.wpxi.com/sports/7398385/detail.html</a>#</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Story Linky:&nbsp; <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/02/23/earlyshow/main1339324.shtml">http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/02/23/earlyshow/main1339324.shtml</a></p><p>&quot;And, in his first action of the year, McElwain missed his first two shots, but then sank six three-pointers and another shot, for a total of 20 points in three minutes.&quot;<br /></p>

<p> </p><strong>&quot;</strong>It happened in Greece, NY, where a high school basketball manager came off the bench and started shooting the lights out.<p> </p><p> </p><p>I didn't read all of the post, and I honestly thought some poor autistic boy caught on fire caused by falling sparks from a manager shooting the lights out with a gun. </p>

Saw this yesterday.&nbsp; It's an awesome story.&nbsp; That fucking place went insane.&nbsp;

That was so freakin' cool.&nbsp; I couldn't shoot like that if I wanted too.&nbsp; Good for him! <img src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/thumbup.gif" border="0" />

<p>Another true, real life &quot;Rudy&quot; story.&nbsp; I actually got choked up watching the morning news yesterday.&nbsp; </p><p>The fact that he was&nbsp;a &quot;highly&nbsp;functioning autistic&quot;, on top of being a 5'&nbsp;6&quot;&nbsp;white kid?&nbsp; I mean, come on!</p><p>How long until Hollywood spits this out onto the Big Screen?&nbsp; You couldn't write a story any better than this.</p>

Great story, gave me goose bumps. But, if it was true to the title of the thread, would have been better.<br />
