He's inked a movie deal, with Magic Johnson on as an executive producer!! Good for this kid. I hope he has a blast with all of this!

Watching TV last night, I happened upon or local access channel while they where showing a sports report show they tape every week or every other week. It seems a local high school, Olympia High, just outside of Bloomington-Normal, had an autistic boy that had also been the basketball team manager. The coach found an extra uniform, made sure he gave the kid the 23 jersey as Michael Jordan is his favorite player, and put him in the game. The kid said he was gonna hit a 3-pointer. Well, he took two 2-point shots and missed both. Next time down the court, he was outside the arc when he received the ball, and sure enough, swished a 3-pointer. Another really neat story!
