Hot as a Pistol - The Jason McElwain Story

- 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’s more articulate than 80% of the population.
Seriously wow amazing
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
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
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
He referred to his teams success more than his amazing 4 minutes
Such a humble soul❤️❤️
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..
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.
This dude is amazing! He's more enthusiastic about life than most able mind adults.
This is a true winner, this is why I don't complain about bullshit. God bless this young man
Ladies and gentlemen, many lessons in this video.... J-Mac, your an inspiration...
Oh man, never seen a follow up on this guy. Love it. Would have been lucky to be coached by a guy like him.
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 guy rules!
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.
This was so good. Thank you 😊
I love it! Keep it up Jmac!
Holy shit. This guy buries me on all levels! God is Great! This kid is super motivating and really well spoken.
Give this man a job.. He’s invaluable.👍🏽✊🏽
Hes my hero
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.
What a man he has become
He ran the bottom marathon in 2hrs57minutes holy fuck wtf he’s an elite runner... omg
He’s a huge inspiration ❤️
Love this guy
True inspiration
God bless this kid
This guy is a guru!
True meaning of Legend
I tried really hard not to cry. Great story.

He is the BEST!!!!
Heroes come in many forms.
Protect this man with everything
This is more touching than my mothers speech in my old class
That is truly a impressive man
I would love to meet this guy
One love y'all!
This guy really just sounds like he wants to be taken seriously and I hope he gets that
Legend
Beyond
Glad i met this crazy dude at snowvalley basketball camps years back.
Not all superheroes wear capes. #truth
He is just so bad ass.
The man is all fucking business! Mamba Mentality!
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.
Legendary as fuck
They still underestimate this guy.
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
I am sure he is genius that never given a right chance
Should be give a head coaching position.
Ho was here cuase of mark rober
Does he have a disability or do the rest of us have one because he is one heck of a human
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
He seems totally normally tbh.
Disability? Yeah he got dis ability to shoot some hoops
Jason was in a very bad accident when his bicycle collided with a vehicle...he is in the ICU...
Gilbert Arenas brought me here. J-Mac is HIM!!
He seems pretty high functioning
Looks like the coach missed a great player his entire high school career because he was a little different
He sounds like a white Obama
