Columbia Pictures has secured the rights to the story of Jason "J-Mac" McElwain, the autistic boy who sank six three-pointers in is one and only high school basketball game. Magic Johnson will be co-producing the movie. Anyone who likes money will agree this is a good idea.
But upon watching the video again, this isn't a story of an autistic boy's triumph over adversity... it's about horrible defense. Get a hand in the kid's face! Put some pressure on the ball! At least take a timeout to try to ice the kid. Sheesh.

Is no one else going to say it? Fine. I will. Where's the defensive stopper for the opponent and why wasn't he assigned to guard the autistic kid? Huh?
Where's the Ron Artest to put that kid on his ass the next time he shoots it just to make him second guess shooting the next time he touches the basketball? If there's one thing that my high school coach drilled into me, it was to not let autistic kids get hot. 'Cause there hard to stop once they get going.
What? You all thought that. I just put it into words and posted the thought on someone else's webpage. You all could have done the same.

I don’t mean to offend or frighten anyone, but six threes are also THREE SIXES!
Evidence from scripture:
He will have an image made after him (a movie)- Revelations 15:2
He will understand puzzling things (autism)- Daniel 8:23
