The kid that passed him the ball, got a full ride scholarship to a Texas college (can’t remember the exact one) they said the scholarship was for his sportsmanship.
Texas Tech I googled and found an article from 2018 this story made headlines and the(then) head if Texas Tech saw it was like thats the kind of person he wants at his school so got his staff to get his number and called and offered him a scholarship!
I can understand what you are saying, but in this instance, nothing meant anything to anyone but Mitchell. Give him one last moment to remember. He'll remember every botched catch, every missed shot, and his basket, forever.@@issakakish
Johnathan you are an amazing young man with compassion for your fellow man. Your parents must be so proud i am proud of you. Thank you, young Man, for making this miracle happen
1:51 Mr. Jonathan Montañez, almost ten years later, your decision continues to make people you will never meet cry with happiness. Thanks. That was the best play of his life.
This brought tears to my eyes. I love to see how they had love for him even in the last moments of the game. God I pray for many blessing for Jonathan his family and both teams and their families couching staff and the whole school.
@@neiltristanyabut I would rather live my life believing in God, and die to find there is none, Than to live my life as if there isn't a God, and die to find out there is. In God We Trust!
@@jrlaymance exactly. if it's just your life, then by all means. that's part of your freedom but your religion and its followers trying to dictate the lives of others, esp. those who clearly do not share that religion? no wonder people fought back and wrestled their governments from theocracy
@@neiltristanyabut dictate the lives of others? He’s dictating peoples lives by praying God would bless someone for doing something incredibly kind? That doesn’t make any sense my friend. God bless
Some things mean more than the score. For this child and his parents to have this small moment of joy to share with others is a true blessing. The boy who passed him the ball is a young man with vision and compassion for others. Remember, it’s a funny thing about special needs. We all have them. Well done young man.
Thank you Lord, for all the great people in the story including all the fans. I know you were extremely happy. The coach and school must be extremely proud also
It wasn't the points or the game. It was giving Mitchell his moment in the sun. That video brought me to tears. Thank you Jonathan for letting the game be fun
Made my day !! My son is autistic too but you have to live with him to know it!! Kids are so cruel to him but he is such a beautiful soul inside and ou!! I just hope the world see this video!!
I had to play this story 4 or 5 times over with tears of joy rolling down my face. 😂 Two beautiful people sharing 1 beautiful moment, inspiring thousands. God bless moments like these. 🙏🏾
Great coach.Said he was willing to lose the game to give him his moment.Kudos to all. I think I saw an angel sitting up on the backboard. There was no way in heaven that shot wasn't going down. This IS what sport should be all about.
I have to admit that I got choked up watching this. During these horrible times, this act by this young man and coach gave me hope for humanity. This is the perfect example of why I prefer amateur sports. Watching young people playing for the love of the game is preferable to watching the it's all about me players in the major leagues.
Bet that kid felt great... To have the score given to him on a silver platters as opposed to him earning it. Bet you made him feel like a real human being.
As a parent of 3grown special needs children I am so proud of the boy who passed the ball to Jonathan what a show of true sportsmanship and of Jonathan for his dedication to the team and the coach for what he said and did for Hi onarhan
EVERTIME I cry, my son was special and he loved basketball so watching these special moments always bring back great memories and happy tears. Bless the ones who helped and loved this very specia person. Always remember, can't out give God!!!
My grandson has C.P. he got to play this year with the schools basketball team. It was so heart warming to see, not only his team pass him the ball, but the opposing team as well. Then all stood back, as he made as many free throws as it took to make a basket. This little act of kindness didn't make, or break a game. It did make a boys heart soar.
This is one of those moments that give me some hope for our future. Both teams deserve high praise for a game well played. And yes, I cried when Mitchel made that last basket.
A few years ago, my autistic nephew Jonathan ( who LOVES shooting baskets ) watched 2 older neighborhood teens playing one on one. One passed him the ball, and he swished it. They complimented him, and asked him to shoot another, but he was already heading away to walk with his Dad; no big deal.
It's absolutely amazing when you give a special needs child his dream to a star in whatever they are truly passionate about I couldn't stop the tears it was so beautiful
Absolutely Beautiful! Hats off too young man who threw the ball to this young player Mitchell. Praises for BOTH TEAMS TO ALLOW THIS YOUNG MAN HIS SPECIAL DAY IN GLORY. YES! I'M WIPING TEARS NOW! I had a cousin who had special needs. He was truly SPECIAL TO US. Love these stories! 😊🤗🙏🏀
Class act!!!! That kid will go far in life. Every kid that plays basketball should have to watch that 10 times. While sportsmanship was well alive in this game unfortunately it is not the norm……
My doggone allergies are all of the sudden acting up. My eye's are watering and I've got the sniffles. Seems to happen every time I watch one of these. Good young men.
The true beauty of sports and when it goes beyond winning or losing and transcends into something truly special that no trophy or award could ever come close to replicating.
There aren't enough superlatives to go around to do justice to everyone, including the fabulous supportive student body who, obviously, also love Mitchel.
The kid that passed him the ball, got a full ride scholarship to a Texas college (can’t remember the exact one) they said the scholarship was for his sportsmanship.
👍👍
A much deserved scholarship
good
Texas Tech I googled and found an article from 2018 this story made headlines and the(then) head if Texas Tech saw it was like thats the kind of person he wants at his school so got his staff to get his number and called and offered him a scholarship!
Best thing is he said the best part of that game was he got a lifelong friend in Mitchell out of it!
That young man showed class, sportsmanship and compassion. He and his parents should be extremely proud. Bravo
He should be on a "good sportsmanship" committee. He could travel around to all of the sports franchises and give lectures on being decent.
I can't IMAGINE how proud those parents are of their kid...
Fantastic sportsmanship. Thank you young men for taking a moment and turned it into something special. God bless you all. 🙏
That young man that passed him the ball... that's the type of child I'm trying to raise
Mitchell‘s mom isn’t the only one crying after this inspiring story. Outstanding especially during the current Christmas season.
what does your christmas have anything to do with it?
Stop claiming anything to make your stupid religion look good. the receipts of damage are there
I'm with you.
It's not inspiring. It's bullshit. Id be pissed if I was that kid. I'm handicapped and I hate when people try to treat me like that.
I can understand what you are saying, but in this instance, nothing meant anything to anyone but Mitchell. Give him one last moment to remember. He'll remember every botched catch, every missed shot, and his basket, forever.@@issakakish
I can't imagine how proud the parents were of these kids. What a wonderful thing to be a part of.
Johnathan you are an amazing young man with compassion for your fellow man. Your parents must be so proud i am proud of you. Thank you, young Man, for making this miracle happen

This is such a great story. With all of the hatred being spewed in this world it's nice to see some people that actually care about others.
There is more good then bad and good will always prevail in the end. ✌🏼❤️
I agree David,
@@fredgrebner526 not true evil will always be here without Jesus
The real heros here are the parents of that kid! The kid only did what he's been taught. Way to go mom and dad!
I mean, how great is that kid Jonathan? I love the story, but that kid that gave him the ball, I mean that is a special kid. Good on you.
i guess I am kinda randomly asking but do anyone know a good website to watch new movies online ?
@Yehuda Franklin i watch on Flixzone. You can find it on google :)
Heart of gold for opposing team member to give the ball to Mitchell !!! 👍
The whole thing was great. Every player, and every fan won that game!
This was so touching. I am so touched. Somebody touch me!!!
That was one of the most beautiful gestures that coach and the young man from the other team did for this amazing young guy bought me tears 💖
Johnathan gave that young man a memory that he will always keep close to his heart ❤️ 💪🏾
The world needs more people like Jonathan Montanez.
With all the hate and violence on the internet, It is great to see something like this. Even if its 9 years old.
Wow !! Brought tears to my eyes , everyone should think like that young man that passed the ball !! He'll forever be a hero !!
Can we please see more of this kindness on media platforms where people can’t help but see it!
Johnathan M, you were raised right!!
This makes me cry everytime I watch it. As a special education teacher. It reminds me that this world STILL has compassionate people in it...
INCREDIBLE young man with a heart of Jesus
This brought tears to my eyes. I love to see how they had love for him even in the last moments of the game. God I pray for many blessing for Jonathan his family and both teams and their families couching staff and the whole school.

tears - what a great thing to do.
Both of those fine young men were raised well, and that will serve them well forever.
Made this tough ex convict -- 17 years in various State and Federal prisons -- cry.
Wow....I could watch this a million times. Spread kindness everyone, everyday.
Every so often, when I need a little pick me up, I return to this video. It’s just beautiful and a reminder to me that the world can be good.
True sportsmanship and compassion
Thank you Lord, for all the great people in the story including all the fans. I know you were extremely happy. The coach and school must be extremely proud also
Restores my faith in humanity, Absolutely beautiful.
Wow!
This 54 year old isn't crying...you're crying.
That was awsome. Made my night.
It wasn't the points or the game. It was giving Mitchell his moment in the sun. That video brought me to tears. Thank you Jonathan for letting the game be fun
If only the whole country had this much heart.
Made my day !! My son is autistic too but you have to live with him to know it!! Kids are so cruel to him but he is such a beautiful soul inside and ou!! I just hope the world see this video!!
Great job kid who passed him the ball!! You're going places kid.

God bless moments like these. 🙏🏾
These are the types of stories the media needs to put out there more. Our world would be a better place for it.
It was a life lesson for the team to be around this kid
Coach is a good man along with everyone else involved!
Great coach.Said he was willing to lose the game to give him his moment.Kudos to all.
I think I saw an angel sitting up on the backboard. There was no way in heaven that shot wasn't going down.
This IS what sport should be all about.
Great kid with great parents. God bless them.
We need more stories like this from the news. I loved this
I respect the crap outta Johnathan after that most emotional and respectful moment I have ever seen in my life..
As a mum to my awesome autistic son, this was heartwarming to watch. I have tears!❤❤❤
"When you play the game with this much sportsmanship, both teams win".
Spewing a line or cliche doesn't make it a fact
@@grant1739 well, aren't you a ray of fucking sunshine.
I'm glad there are still Good kids in this world thank you young man

Absolutely gut wrenching beautiful!!!
It was on that day that those boys became men. Well done to all involved.
COMPLETELY AWESOME! THAT OPPOSING PLAYER WHO GAVE HIM THE BALL DESERVES A PLAYER OF THE YEAR AWARD!
That is very classy bunch of players and coaches on both teams!
Bet that kid felt great... To have the score given to him on a silver platters as opposed to him earning it. Bet you made him feel like a real human being.
As a dad, I was proud of everybody in this story
Wow in tears,,,,,God bless them all,,,,,Amen🙏😇 great moment for him,,,,,,,good to see there are nice people out there
Very unselfishness act of kindness! What an example to us all!
what an amazing group of people. ...who move this world...forward
Ikr
The picture of him being carried off is the best thing I have ever seen in my life, 25 years of living. I am crying.
For being a special needs parent myself. I can honestly say that was absolutely beautiful.
As a parent of 3grown special needs children I am so proud of the boy who passed the ball to Jonathan what a show of true sportsmanship and of Jonathan for his dedication to the team and the coach for what he said and did for Hi onarhan
This went beyond sportsmanship. What a display of character.
EVERTIME I cry, my son was special and he loved basketball so watching these special moments always bring back great memories and happy tears. Bless the ones who helped and loved this very specia person. Always remember, can't out give God!!!
I've seen this many times and it still brings joyful tears to my eyes and I'm grown man.
If we focused more on stories like this the world would be a better place.
This just made me feel some type of way 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 good job to that senior for looking at the bigger picture
Not only woul the world be a better place if there were more of us like them... but the internet would be better too....
To the kid who passed him the ball... "you'll go down in history". And by the way... a side shot is tough... no bounce off the backboard.
I was raised the same way Jonathan was raised. Well done!

Wow, that is a game non of those kids will ever forget. How sweet. God bless all those kids.
That was very sweet , God Bless young man
This is the kind of thing that gives me hope in our young people and hope for the future of our country!
This was love in action. I'll never forget watching this for the first time many years ago. Kids raised right.
This is one of those moments that give me some hope for our future. Both teams deserve high praise for a game well played. And yes, I cried when Mitchel made that last basket.

It's absolutely amazing when you give a special needs child his dream to a star in whatever they are truly passionate about
I couldn't stop the tears it was so beautiful
the young men on both team's showed great sportsmanship, this country could use more young people like those player's
definitely brought a tear to my eye
God bless you both Mitchel and Jonathan!
I hope, today, Mitchell is STILL the King of the Courts.
Wherever he goes.
It reminds me there is hope for the future with kids like this 🙏
Absolutely Beautiful! Hats off too young man who threw the ball to this young player Mitchell. Praises for BOTH TEAMS TO ALLOW THIS YOUNG MAN HIS SPECIAL DAY IN GLORY. YES! I'M WIPING TEARS NOW! I had a cousin who had special needs. He was truly SPECIAL TO US. Love these stories! 😊🤗🙏🏀
That's why kids like this should run the country.
NOTHING SHORT OF BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Class act!!!! That kid will go far in life.
Every kid that plays basketball should have to watch that 10 times. While sportsmanship was well alive in this game unfortunately it is not the norm……
Developing good sportsmanship and respect of others is a leadership skill will last a lifetime and be passed,inspiring others for generations.
My doggone allergies are all of the sudden acting up. My eye's are watering and I've got the sniffles. Seems to happen every time I watch one of these. Good young men.
Steve Hartman is a gem of a reporter.
When the world gets me down, I come here to be reminded "Look for those who brighten the darkness" this is but one of many.
The true beauty of sports and when it goes beyond winning or losing and transcends into something truly special that no trophy or award could ever come close to replicating.
He made it winner make it count.🏀🔉🔊
That's sportsmanship! That's love! That's awesome!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
No matter how many times this pops up I watch it for the feel good vibes, this guy deserves it.
Such a great and inspiring story.
"sportsmanship like this both teams win" is what got me
both team wins. unforgettable.
That brings tears to my eyes....
There aren't enough superlatives to go around to do justice to everyone, including the fabulous supportive student body who, obviously, also love Mitchel.
Truly A Class Act ALL Around!
