- Jason McElwain’s story is one of trial, triumph, and inspiration. Diagnosed with Autism at a young age, Jason’s love for basketball grew throughout his youth, leading him to serve as the student manager for his beloved Greece Athena High School. But one night in 2006, everything changed. Jason, in his first and only appearance for the team, caught fire, scoring twenty points in just six minutes. His performance captivated the crowd and inspired a nation, and thirteen years later, it’s lead to Jason returning to the game, but this time as a coach. This is the Jason McElwain story.

He talked more about his teams success than his great game. J-Mac is a winner of the highest order.
No doubt, J-Mac, put some respect on his name. God bless him.
He should be in Congress may actually get stuff done with him there
Totally agree
He’s more articulate than 80% of the population.
Seriously wow amazing
Just listening to the guy, you know he understands a lot more then a lot of people
Couldn't help but hear the man is a volunteer. He coaches just as much as anyone else. Seems pretty integral to the staff and team so pay the man.
He could get some sort of government disability, so he might not be too worried about it. Maybe not though. Hell, I have no idea.
I was thinking the same thing! Pay that man!
@@taco2947 my sisters best friend is his neighbor. New York State has numerous things set up for adults with disabilities plus even the assistant coaches on varsity are unpaid. Only head coaches in New York State get paid and it's a fixed amount..it was a rule put in place to avoid coaches always switching schools..so essentially now it only happens in private schools. Unless that changed recently but. It's dumb but so is everything New York State does.
@@mazzle927 Same in Michigan pretty much! Most Head Coaching jobs hardly pay anything at all! 95% of Public School Head Coaches in Michigan work for the school as some sort of teacher so they can get paid and coach! They get a small bonus on their teacher salary if theyre a coach but its hardly anything at all. I remember my Football coach telling me how he spends more out of his pocket for our team than he ends up making for being a head coach!
JV assistant coach is usually unpaid
Disability? No. Kids, That man right there is a super hero.
Well said man. I feel like special people are usually the nicest. Normal people need to take some fucking notes
@@LeftBehind666 your comment had good intentions. But you just said that anyone who has a disability is not normal. So ya kinda just ruined that
@@brandonwootten Not really, I'm disabled. I know I'm not normal. Doesn't mean it's a negative.
@@brandonwootten stop trying to pick apart what people say fucking keyboard warrior
@@GT-is5ro wtf Jason has accomplished so much despite his disability and you come here trying to discredit someone acknowledging it. Good job I guess😂
God bless this man, his 6 3s will in that game is legendary achievement, and he continues this trend. U have proved everyone wrong, a true hero in my books
He referred to his teams success more than his amazing 4 minutes
Such a humble soul❤️❤️
I'm one of your biggest fans Jmac,! Your always in my thoughts. We're kindred spirits! Your the face of autistic basketball players everywhere.
I definitely cop a jmac jersey for sure
Just know about his story now, I hope he's doing alright even today man
His original ESPN story was one of the best things I ever watched and I cried like a baby
This community loves this Man. A night none of us will forget. I cry 'happy ' tears every time I see him. Intensity in All the right directions.
Who in the hell gave this a thumbs down!!!???
No matter what in life you still have haters man. No matter what
The team he won from. Took all their shine. Legend..
Ladies and gentlemen, many lessons in this video.... J-Mac, your an inspiration...
This dude is amazing! He's more enthusiastic about life than most able mind adults.
Oh man, never seen a follow up on this guy. Love it. Would have been lucky to be coached by a guy like him.
This is a true winner, this is why I don't complain about bullshit. God bless this young man
Been seeing this for a decade or more now. Really something to see the man he is today. U got a fan in me jmac. Goodluck to ur team and coaching
This guys an absolute inspiration.
I wish mental health wasnt so stigmatized. What a great person, that school needs more recognition for allowing him to spread his wings. Hes teaching life lessons to those kids.
Holy shit. This guy buries me on all levels! God is Great! This kid is super motivating and really well spoken.
This guy rules!
He ran the bottom marathon in 2hrs57minutes holy fuck wtf he’s an elite runner... omg
Give this man a job.. He’s invaluable.👍🏽✊🏽
Hes my hero
What a man he has become
Give this guy a head coaching job he is awesome as a coach and mostly a role model.
J-Mac story is what sports is about. One of my favorite sports moments of all time.
True meaning of Legend
This guy is a guru!
I love it! Keep it up Jmac!

This is more touching than my mothers speech in my old class

True inspiration
I tried really hard not to cry. Great story.
Love this guy
Heroes come in many forms.

The man is all fucking business! Mamba Mentality!
I would love to meet this guy
He is the BEST!!!!
This guy really just sounds like he wants to be taken seriously and I hope he gets that
Glad i met this crazy dude at snowvalley basketball camps years back.
That is truly a impressive man
I remember back when he hit local news, what a real champ this man has become, a true winner in life, I love reliving his moments on them 3 6 pointers
This was so good. Thank you 😊
Not all superheroes wear capes. #truth
Legend
Beyond
He is just so bad ass.
I love how they told him he wouldn't get the 3 hour mark in the marathon and he finished with 2:57
Anything is possible.
One love y'all!
Legendary as fuck
They still underestimate this guy.
I am sure he is genius that never given a right chance
Does he have a disability or do the rest of us have one because he is one heck of a human
Ho was here cuase of mark rober
I’m gettin old. What happened to the kid that drained all those 3’s.
He became an absolute amazing man
I still see him at my local gym
Should be give a head coaching position.
Jason was in a very bad accident when his bicycle collided with a vehicle...he is in the ICU...
Disability? Yeah he got dis ability to shoot some hoops
Gilbert Arenas brought me here. J-Mac is HIM!!
He seems totally normally tbh.
Looks like the coach missed a great player his entire high school career because he was a little different
He seems pretty high functioning
He sounds like a white Obama
