Best Missed Free Throws EVER!

I'm a little leery of "sports as a metaphor for life" arguments. And don't get me started on the "builds character" stuff. I've seen a lot of bad characters formed in youth sports leagues.

But this is a story that blows all of my skepticism of the value of sports away. Of course, it didn't have to happen like this. The coach could have put winning the game above all else. The player could have been concerned about his personal stats. But they didn't.

That's exceptional. And exceptions move me.
