I AM SO IMPRESSED WITH HANSEL. MAY GOD TAKE HIM TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL IN LIFE. HE DESERVES IT.

[@montezuma9150]

When he did 20 push ups with one arm I began to cry and not out of sadness,or pitty I cried because that young man is a gift to humanity,and a reminder of what we can become if we just give it our all. Right now I'm homeless, living in the streets and this young man has inspired me to believe in myself and to never give up. Salute to him and his family🙏

This kid is the definition of hard work and resilience 🗣💯

[@xthrth1320]

*treat a man like he is and he'll remain what he is.* *Treat a man how he could be and he'll become what it should be.*

[@betdat9195]

Not trying to be ignorant,but does this quote mean,if a person is treated a certain way by others he'll remain as he is?But if you treat him like he can be greater he will be? If so I see the point but I also believe the strength comes from self rather than others,like David goggin the black Navy seal.But I agree with your qoute to a degree.because if people tear you down and you except and believe it you may not get up .but if you self talk always telling yourself you can be greater, and continuously attempt to be, you will be greater in some aspects.I feel this is by nature.

[@david_c_r_w_d_6322]

The part were they talked about how he missed a layup and did 20 pushups with 1 arm inspired me a lot. This guy is defiying all odds and i really believe he will make it to the next level.

This guy is a walking miracle and inspiration. His handle is crazy and he can shoot off the dribble. Kid is a living legend whether he plays in the league or not. His parents should be applauded for continuing to support him in his dreams and not being negative when he was young.

[@hutchieboy242]

It is strange that there is an "imbalance" that allows him to move faster than the average player. .. The irony is that the arm that is missing arm forces the defenders to his right and their inability to see the ball on his left side is a conundrum, so two men are needed to guard him which opens the floor.

[@RobSoRandom]

He made his loss his gain.... Dude is unreal
