I think I've seen this video 10 times or so and teared up each time. Sheesh.

[@manuelschneider1105]

10, those are rookie numbers! You gotta pump those numbers up!

[@michaelsaustin2607]

Same this one and the J Mac video

[@MRFizzler1]

me 2... goosebumps all over

[@rodneyclarke]

We saw it on the news here in Australia last night - BRILLIANT !! Congratulations to both teams... while the game was important, it was heartening to see that it was humanity that one that game. To Jonathon Montanez, (22 Franklin), by passing him the shot you did your mother proud and inspired thousands - well done son.

[@Ira06002]

I've watched this several times and still get choked up. Helps me restore faith in mankind.

[@bpeterman007]

Steven Adler I think what’s sad is there are countless examples of this going on that we never hear about. I put a good deal of effort into seeking out positive stories.

[@daphnelattimer9952]

Me too, Steven. Don't give up. Keep looking for and seeing the good in people. I hope this brightened your day.

[@charleytennen5135]

Coronado and franklin are huge rivals, at games usually people go there to fight and on the last game, people were throwing water bottles and flour everywhere. I could not believe it when I heard from my sister (who happened to be cheering at the game) that this happened. Just amazing people with amazing hearts.

[@Scratchingforcash]

What an amazing group of kids

[@tominator3]

Hard not to get choked up watching this

[@Horselover-bs1og]

tominator3 true dat

[@miniac4527]

things like this belong on the news, not murderers or rapists being exposed all over the world on every stupid news channel for weeks and months.

[@canaandaniels1160]

I mean people need to know about rapes and murders as well

[@dirtyburt2710]

Positive reinforcement

[@sisterkaite]

Some children are reared properly with a sense of love and compassion for their fellow men and women. This was one of them

[@Jo71603]

I agree Katie!

[@romancandle255]

I am speechless. This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.

[@vivianpht1]

Proud to be from el paso ❤

[@vincentalvarez559]

Hero Coach with ❤️ and team mate too made a dream come true..What a great group of teens Hurray

[@padraicreid1234]

Fantastic. Lost for words.

[@gwmgbwi]

10 years… man, we’re getting old. Still a great reminder years later, we live in a friendly friendly world. Remember..

[@1bls]

Montanas gets it. Such a young man to already have compassion and the understanding that it isn’t just about yourself. Good on you fellow

[@davidrbecken]

Stories like this are what life is all about. These are all good people, especially Jonathan Montanez, who anyone would be proud to have for their son, and all of his teammates and coaches, who didn't object to what he did. His parents raised a great kid, and his gesture gave another person a lifelong good memory. Kudos to Mitchell's coach and teammates as well!

[@nevergivingup15]

its an honor of mine knowing i go to.school with these kids. i play ball with these kids. im friends with them and that mitchell and jon both are such a huge part of my life. its too amazing for words & im glad his story was able to be shared.

[@kentstookey9819]

great to see both teams helping this young man have a special moment. well done.

[@botreetv3150]

That's just amazing to see someone do something like

[@GREGGSOHO]

This is truly what life is all about. Love & compassion. This video made me cry..

[@MelanieFoster4]

Oh My Gosh.... this is Absolutely Beautiful!!!! God Bless these men!!!

[@johnmckeon3468]

Johnathan, you are a class act, as are the young men on both teams.

[@PurpleRain500]

That is simply beautiful. Wow. Just wow. May God bless the coach, that young man for what he did, and most of all....Mitchell! ✝️💟☮️

[@johnjones5354]

The player that passed him the ball on the inbound, that boy was raised right.

[@fezzik7619]

Both are men in their 20’s by now and have different reasons to look back on this moment with pride

[@harrisonrutledge5]

Shit. That's powerful. Good young men.

[@slimeboss7471]

Respect!!most touching ever!

[@nancestef]

There is a great future for BOTH these young men...their families, schools, and friends/teammates can be VERY proud.

[@natalooser]

makes me cry everytime i watch it, it just touches my heart! how can 6 people dislike this video!?

[@mokunui9109]

Legacy is planting seeds in a garden whose flowers you might never see. Good on you young man. You’ve done your family proud.

[@Ookami20]

That was really beautiful its nice to know that ppl can b this kindhearted to one another

[@Weebs82589]

[@leighnoffsinger3013]

That's what I like to see young people treating other peers with respect for others regardless if they disabilities

[@EBFISKE]

This was absolutely beautiful and my eyes are full of tears while I'm typing this! God Bless that team and all the players and the coach for having so much heart!!!!

[@bobbymacias3772]

How can you not love sports, amazing story!

[@igneousdfirmfire9061]

Saw this on the news since evening and I had to tube it, this brought tears yoooo, still bringing em

[@giorgosrose7619]

Moments like this are priceless !

[@ravenheaven2425]

Very hard to not get choked up on this one even though this was 5 years ago.

[@jxaurora]

that was a great move by the boy that passed him the ball. Even though it was there ball he still gave it to him to make the buzzer beater. This story really touches my heart. great job to both teams!

[@darcybrummett7004]

This is awesome!

[@Redmoth76]

How can anyone not like this.

[@bpeterman007]

It is stunning to me that there are people in this world that give a thumbs down to story like this (23 at the time I post this). What a beautiful story of love and compassion. Well done, Jonathan. That was all class.

[@ggkohler]

Bravo, Johnathan - good form!

[@manuelschneider1105]

"I think I'll cry about it for the rest of my life" .... me too!

[@JoseSantiago-mj9cq]

This was amazing

[@marknewsom1780]

Made this young man's day! Damn onion cutting Ninjas

[@SuperVloggity]

That is so awesome :) I love both of those teams now!

[@brucehayes5111]

I have been in the house the whole weekend trying to take it easy. I have a carotid artery that is 99 percent blocked and waiting on test results. I have watched every on the road segment that is on KZbin. CBS should do a show a few times a year just showing these. With all the chaos and turmoil we have to live in and deal with, I think all of us could use an uplifting story such as these. Hats off to Steve Hartman!!

[@imadedwik3801]

Blessed you all

[@lordofthekevs]

Tears of joy..

[@billpollanger5826]

That’s SPORTSMANSHIP at its best.

[@keerthivelm7530]

This is underrated... Deserves more views

[@bayouninja]

People like that are my heroes

[@kjkoolyt3043]

Who could be so heartless to dislike this?

[@Shocko1010]

True sportsmen! Well done.

[@Laceup513]

these videos can make anyone cry idc

[@corrinadempster]

This video is so inspiring i love it

[@superlurf]

2:15 I bet that was louder than a 747 revving up.

[@BrandoninOrlando]

Alot of college basketball teams should look at this when some of there players act stupid. Those kids are so much more mature then most college basketball players

[@NathanTLopez]

Why would anyone dislike this?

[@fezzik7619]

To the kid who turned it over; he won’t remember the score of one game he played in high school 30 years from now, but he’ll remember calling out Mitchell’s name and passing him the ball.

[@lukebrown7493]

I heard he got a full scholarship because of what he did

[@lizzypentz5074]

love this!!

[@dennislabi6243]

Respect ;)

[@Stellarfractre]

[@predragvujanovic6058]

[@jayparker6528]

Jonathan from the other team gets it! Good in him!

[@budlite8]

if the ref called traveling on that last play there will really be a "kill the ref" outcry. haha

[@matthewc3959]

I have no clue where or what Jonathan is doing now but I would imagine it is great

[@emoney9295]

When you realize people have a heart

[@jfwhite7]

What a caring bunch of students. Kudos to #22 opposition team.

[@emmanuelgarcia5841]

Awesome this is how we should treat others :)

[@marine921402]

I loved that Highschool

[@thnd3rb1rd]

love this video. Damned onion trucks.

[@Molemanski]

Faith in humanity restored

[@brianarbenz1329]

This was a very good thing to do - do you understand that, George F. Will? (He once wrote a column fuming against a coach in a women’s game who had told his players to make this sort of deliberate turnover of kindness so a player could score.)
