Today ESPN posted a cool story about a high school senior who has Down syndrome. Kevin Grow was the manager for his high school's basketball team for the past four years. Just recently his basketball team had their senior game where Kevin's coach decided to put him in for the final two minutes of the game. While he was in Kevin scored four 3-pointer shots. Kevin's four 3-pointers turned into a viral video that was a must watch on youtube having over 1 million views. The awesome part about this story is not only the fact that Kevin showed such awesome basketball skills, but also that Kevin now has had the opportunity to play with the Harlem Globetrotters and will play for the Philadelphia 76ers, as he signed a two-day contact just last week. It is truly amazing to see what can happen when someone who you may not expect to have such success is given a chance! Go Kevin!
