There seems to be a little bit of a trend lately. Inspiring videos are popping up on youtube and in news bulletins, showing high school teams giving opportunities to disadvantaged team mates and team managers. Often they are someone who has loyally served the team and shown support, and the team decides to reward that by getting the player a basket at the end of a game.
This video is a little different, in that the basket comes at the start of the game, and it's a dunk.
From the youtube video description (by Sean Mullaney):
Joey Mullaney, a senior manager for Lawrence Academy's Men's Basketball Team, dunks the ball to start the game on senior day. Joey suffers from Friedreich's Ataxia, a rare, neurological disorder that has sidelined him from playing and forced him into a managerial role. However, Joey suited up for his final game on senior day and starts the game with a dunk.
