dont have the link to the video, but that kid who threw a 3 pointer to win the game from his own D with about 0.5 seconds to go in a HS game.
I dunno if anyone else saw the video, but the thing that got me was the kid knew it was gonna hit before it reached the basket. After he threw it he stood there for a second, and then when it was about 20 feet away from the basket he started screaming with disbelief cos he KNEW it was in. He was off balance and in his own D when he launched it, and it just hit nothing but net.
My other fave was Coach Cheeks and the anthem. I will have to find a link to the video. Basically this 11 year old girl was singing the national anthem at the game, and she lost it, forgot the words. She tried to start again and couldnt find the words, and the crowd started to jeer, you could see she was just about to completely break down, and she had tears in her eyes, when out of nowhere Coach Cheeks races up, puts her arm round her, and starts feeding her the words and singing with her. She found her voice, and by the end the whole stadium was on its feet singing with her and she got a huge round of applause at the end.
With all the people around her, everyone just stood there watching her suffer and feeling terrible for her, and it was the coach, with so much on his mind and so many other things to worry about, who had the heart to race to her rescue, simply because he couldnt stand to see her pain and he did something about it. It was a beautiful momenbt, and if I was American Im sure I'd find it very patriotic. And for whats it worth, she had a beautiful voice.
