Steven Adler I think what’s sad is there are countless examples of this going on that we never hear about. I put a good deal of effort into seeking out positive stories.
We saw it on the news here in Australia last night - BRILLIANT !! Congratulations to both teams... while the game was important, it was heartening to see that it was humanity that one that game. To Jonathon Montanez, (22 Franklin), by passing him the shot you did your mother proud and inspired thousands - well done son.
Coronado and franklin are huge rivals, at games usually people go there to fight and on the last game, people were throwing water bottles and flour everywhere. I could not believe it when I heard from my sister (who happened to be cheering at the game) that this happened. Just amazing people with amazing hearts.
Alot of college basketball teams should look at this when some of there players act stupid. Those kids are so much more mature then most college basketball players
To the kid who turned it over; he won’t remember the score of one game he played in high school 30 years from now, but he’ll remember calling out Mitchell’s name and passing him the ball.
Stories like this are what life is all about. These are all good people, especially Jonathan Montanez, who anyone would be proud to have for their son, and all of his teammates and coaches, who didn't object to what he did. His parents raised a great kid, and his gesture gave another person a lifelong good memory. Kudos to Mitchell's coach and teammates as well!
its an honor of mine knowing i go to.school with these kids. i play ball with these kids. im friends with them and that mitchell and jon both are such a huge part of my life. its too amazing for words & im glad his story was able to be shared.
"Treat others how you want to be treated" BIG TRUE Why, yes, I WOULD like the opposing team to hand me the ball and have no defense so I can get a free shot.
It is stunning to me that there are people in this world that give a thumbs down to story like this (23 at the time I post this). What a beautiful story of love and compassion. Well done, Jonathan. That was all class.
This was a very good thing to do - do you understand that, George F. Will? (He once wrote a column fuming against a coach in a women’s game who had told his players to make this sort of deliberate turnover of kindness so a player could score.)
This was absolutely beautiful and my eyes are full of tears while I'm typing this! God Bless that team and all the players and the coach for having so much heart!!!!
Last year I was the manager and was struggling emotionally and with friends. My great Coach let me play a whole quarter. You don’t even have to put me in it. I just want my Coach to be recognized for being a great man.
I have been in the house the whole weekend trying to take it easy. I have a carotid artery that is 99 percent blocked and waiting on test results. I have watched every on the road segment that is on RU-vid. CBS should do a show a few times a year just showing these. With all the chaos and turmoil we have to live in and deal with, I think all of us could use an uplifting story such as these. Hats off to Steve Hartman!!
that was a great move by the boy that passed him the ball. Even though it was there ball he still gave it to him to make the buzzer beater. This story really touches my heart. great job to both teams!
