If you haven't seen the incredible viral videos of Bensalem High School senior Kevin Grow going on an insane run of three-point shots in a recent game, you are totally missing out. Grow was born with Down syndrome, but that has not hindered his skills at draining buckets as a special member of his high school's team. Now his local NBA team, the Philadelphia 76ers, has decided to sign a special two-day contract with Grow with hopes of capitalizing on his skills!
To get the full understanding of just how insane Kevin is at sinking three-point shots, watch the following video and prepare for your jaw to drop:
Four three-pointers in the last two minutes of play? This is crazy!
Since being posted on YouTube, the video has gone viral and clearly caught the attention of 76ers coach Brett Brown.
"What do you say?" Brown said of Kevin's impressive viral video. "You just walk away and have a little bit more appreciation for a bunch of things. It's a grounding effect when you see something like that."
CBS Philly covered the special contract signing of Kevin Grow:
Brown - "Can you play defense?"
Kevin - "I can play defense, yes."
Brown - "I know you can shoot, but you can play defense too?"
Kevin - "Yeah."
Brown - "I say we give him a three-day contract."
With that, Kevin signed on the dotted line and was handed his practice uniform. But before he could hit the floor, Coach Brown let the inspiring teen know that the team needed his help.
Brown - "You're going to teach our young guys how to hold your follow through, and how to shoot like you shoot."
Kevin - "Okay."
Brown - "Can you do that?"
Kevin - "Yeah."
Brown - "I know you can. We welcome you to the team man. Thank you for coming."
Kevin - "Thank you so much."
