[@satoyasui]

I have just got to say, that is the GREATEST sportsmanship and the biggest heart.

[@X3n0nFr33k]

the music is a little overboard

[@dudemaxi]

No words needed, loved it

[@cyrus500000]

Haha after he made the shot he went up to the guy on the other team and was like come at me bro, you got nothin' on me.

[@acooper7089]

I from el paso now living far from there but damn I wish I was there to see that. People like that to have great heart is something to have passion for the game to have respect for others. What that kid did to give him the ball. A hero in my book. As for Mitchell well I am glad to see that he becomes a hero not for his team but for everyone. Mitchell you as well is hero in my book. People learn, people love, but can people really understand the means? Well those people in that game did.

[@zhongwenka]

The background music is so moving and touching, just like the real story of Mitchell, and the sportmanship betwenn two teams.

[@ubertarian1002]

He is actually a great player I can’t throw a shot like that

[@MineGAGGER]

FAITH IN HUMANITY: Finally restored : )

[@RayWorkProductions]

I can understand where you are coming from xGaMac97, but he was brought into the game when his team was winning. All the kids on both teams know each other, and they know Mitchell. It has always been a dream of Mitchell's to play and score in a High School Game. This play will be remembered by him, his family, and everyone involved. It was all about making someone HAPPY, and helping them live a dream. That doesn't sound so S*&%y to me...

[@EPISDLive]

Thank You acooper7089 for the kind words. Please share our story, and link.

[@courtneygolden4208]

[@atjk2000]

Watch the ellen storey. This is real sportsman ship. Keep it up

[@xGaMac97]

I'm sure he felt great, and its good for him, but really, if you want to give people equality, you should treat them like everyone else, unless, they are completely incapable of performing certain actions or doing certain things they would like. That pretty much defines equality. How do we know how he felt when THE OTHER TEAM gave him the ball to let him win. Its as if we just assumed he wouldn't know any better. I'm sure he knew fine well they let him win, and i think that's pretty shitty.

[@xGaMac97]

I understand that, and im gald he was happy. But lets say there was another kid in the team, who also had the same dream. Lets just say, for effect his father may not have been proud of him for being bad at the game or whatever, is he less entitled to achieve his dreams? anyway, once again, im glad he was happy and im sure he will remember it for the rest of his life, good for him.

[@dystyle9631]

See this is how were supposed to treat each other and change society

[@meninosg]

YAY 2 POINTS!!

[@meninosg]

the narrator sounds like he is pressing his nose

[@lilliavellino6364]

Too bad he wasn't allowed to play a little in every game of the season.

[@kylerchaffin6167]

This is the most heart warming stories I have ever herd in my entire life and if you dislike this video you are most likely going straight to hell right after I kill you so screw you if you disliked this video because I am a person who does not have much emotion and even I cried when I saw this video because it is so sad and I would like Mitchell to know that he is an amazing person with a bright future and that you are truly awesome!!!!!!!

[@angrydoggo7160]

kyler chaffin I disliked the video and your comment. Problem?

[@videogamerjb]
