It's an incredible story that everyone in the nation is talking about.

It happened in Greece, NY, where a high school basketball manager came off the bench and started shooting the lights out.


VIDEO: Game Footage

The star of the video is 17-year-old Jason McElwain from Greece Athena High School.

Jason is autistic. He wasn't a player -- just a manager -- until he came off the bench and in four minutes scored 20 points.

He hit six 3-point shots as the home crowd went berserk.

McElwain is 5 feet 6 inches tall, but he felt 10 feet tall and his numbers were remarkable for any player at any level.

He was taken off the court on the shoulders of his teammates.
