With the basketball season starting up around the country, I couldn’t resist showing this video of inspiring sportsmanship.
May we all treat one another the way we would like to be treated.

Oh, the tears are flowing. What a wonderful reminder that there are still a lot of great kids out there who are doing the right thing. And a lot of great coaches who are modeling the right thing for the next generation. Go Mitchell! Go Coach! Go Jonathon!
Damon J. Gray
That was so classy. I love it when things like this happen and are reported.

So wonderful. Starting my day with tears, for this reason, is not the worst thing. Thank you for sharing these Fun Fridays. They are always enjoyable or touching. God bless.
Peggy Morris
That made me cry! What an incredible person #23 on the other team is and the coach and his players also who assisted in trying to get Mitchel a basket! They all worked together for Mitchel’s sake! Essentially, they all made the basket and won–even the “losing” team.
Roberta Sarver
Pass the tissues this way, please. I love to see stories like this.
Cheryl
How wonderful that students care for the other person and not their glory. The young man gave credit to his parents and family is another sign that his heart as well as his brain work together.
Patti Jo Moore
That is one of THE sweetest things I’ve ever viewed….I have goosebumps and tears. God bless that precious young man and ALL the players who joined in for him.
Thank you for sharing this reminder that there’s still a lot of goodness in this world.

WHO IS CUTTING ONIONS?!? STOP!
Janet Ann Collins
Wow, WOW WOW!!! It’s amazing that people can be so kind. But it’s sad that it’s amazing. If only we could all live like that every day.

I love Steve Hartman’s segments for CBS News and this one is especially poignant. What a joy to see so many people vested in this young man’s happiness and feelings of worth.

Crying here, too. So terrific to see teens caring for one another in that way- and so refreshing to see coverage of “good” news!

This was fantastic and tear-provoking. This was worth the thumbs up and a really resounding comment. Thank you, Steve, for sharing this.

I’m glad I visited the website to see the video, but I wasn’t expecting to cry. That was beautiful. If there were more people like #22, this world would be a much better place.
