Awww what a special moment! And major applause to the youngster on thebopposing team who passed Jacobi the ball! What an amazing selfless thing to do! 👏 👏 👏 👏 that makes me so peoud of him & hes not even my kid! Lol. THIS is what GOOD! sportsmanship is about!
The other team is so kind
"don't ever put limits on your children". The other team literally gave him the ball and showed him how to shoot. I just got my PhD without even going to school, they just gave it to me.
I love every single individual involved in this act of love. God has special blessings for each of you.
I just burst out crying. Wow. I wasn’t expecting that reaction but to see those kids kindness and his winning basket just melted me. 😊
Good job news for being positive only 30 years took you to realize that
Oh I love this! My grandson has DS. That was a perfect moment!
Jacoby is the best
Great job buddy we are all proud of you
Now that's team work 💪
Down Syndrome rules! It's the best!❤
Ay, that mom better hit Shane Gillis up for child support
This brings tears to my eyes ❤️
That’s a travel
As The mother of a special needs child. I love this video Britney. So much joy to me and hope. I'm glad to know that there are good kids out there. And I hope that someday my little boy will get a shot like this.❤
restarted
Wow, tears of joy and thx!! What an act of heroism!! And the newscaster again showing his genuine ‘okay, Buddy you did good’!!
He's such a good boy. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect who has and doesn't have special needs.
By the way, he has my third favorite number 24. May he be blessed! 😇
A touching moment in sports ❤❤❤
His syndrome might be down. But his skills are up!🔥
Cringeeeee charity cases
powerful move. good on everybody involved
❤❤❤
Good sportmanship teaches you all about living a kind and rewarding life. Kindness feels great ❤❤❤❤❤
THIS IS WHAT SPORTS SHOULD BE ABOUT. THIS WAS WONDERFUL TO SEE.
❤
Travel. Doesn't count. Sorry buddy. Maybe next year
It doesn't take moving mountains to do the good things in life. But, a mountain of praise to those boys, coaches, and adults who raised these young men.
Those who hate on these moments of kindness and love have purgatory in their future.
