J-Mac, A Special Teen

No, this isn't about security. Rather, this is about an autistic teen whose coach gave him a chance to play in a basketball game and he made the most of it -- scoring 20 points in 4 under minutes. J-Mac (Jason McElwain) is an inspiration to autistic children and their families all over the world and, in that regard, is a hero.

J-Mac has been nominated for ESPY Award. Read J-Mac's story and see the video in "J-Mac to go up against Kobe Bryant Greece teen to compete against his NBA idol for an ESPY award" by Rochester Democrat and Chronicle writer Scot Pitoniac.
