JUSTIN: Jason McElwain, a high
school senior at Greek Athena High School, scored 20 points
in the final basketball game of the regular season. This would
usually be no big deal but since Jason has autism, it makes for an
inspiring story and here is how it all went down.
HOG: Wait, Greek Athena High School? Who is the
principal, Zeus? Wow, so now there are autistic kids
who are more athletic than me. Great.
JUSTIN: With 4:19 left in the last game of the regular
season and the Trojans up by 20, Jason McElwain, the team
manager, is inserted into the game creating havoc in the stands. For
those of you who don’t know, this is typically the point of the game
when all 5’6” white boys are finally allowed to step on court
in a varsity game.
HOG: So you’re saying they put him in the game because they
already had the game won? So the crowd goes wild because
Autistic Boy finally gets a chance to play! The Ultimate
Underdog! Okay, cool! I’m rooting for him, too!
JUSTIN: Jason checks into the game and promptly shoots an air
ball followed by a missed lay up on the next trip down the court.
HOG: Ouch. But hey, everybody’s a winner at the
Special High School Basketball Olympics.
JUSTIN: At this point Disney CEO Robert Iger (watching via
satellite) was officially worried that his new movie, Rain Man II
– Electric Boogaloo, will have to be put on the back burner due
to Jason’s poor shooting.
HOG: Huh? Oh. You’re kidding. Because seriously, that really
sounds like a Disney movie. Forget basketball, they should
get this autistic kid to replace Tim Allen in The Shaggy
Dog.
JUSTIN: The next trip down, Jason’s teammates sense that,
much like a sorority girl, all he needs to get going is more
shots.
HOG: HA HA! Wow. I like that.

JUSTIN: Jason rewards them by draining a three pointer and
starting what will soon be known as the “Quiet Storm of 06’.”
Two more trips down the court and two more threes and the Rain
Man is officially on fire!
He’s hitting jumpers like Kobe in
Toronto which begs the question, “Who the hell is covering this
kid?"
Is there a rule that says you’re not
allowed to double team autistic kids? No wonder the other team was
down by 20 points when they aren’t even bothering to cover the
hottest shooter in the game!
HOG: That’s a great point! It’s like when you’re playing
co-ed basketball. When the girl puts up a jump shot, do you
stuff the basketball back into her face? Guarding this kid is
a real no-win situation. Block him and it’s, “Hey Douche-bag!
He’s Awwwwwww-tistic!!!”
Let him score and it’s like:
Your buddies: “You got faced by the autistic kid!”
You: “But, uh, he has an unfair advantage! He’s got an
extra chromosome!”
Your buddies: “Wow. You really ARE a douche bag.”
JUSTIN: Another trip and another three pointer, which makes
me wonder what their coach is thinking.
Coach: “F*ck I should’ve
started this kid the whole season! We could’ve gone undefeated
instead of being just an average team with a scatterbrained team
manager!”
HOG: And to keep the kid motivated all you gotta do is take
him out for ice cream and McDonalds.
JUSTIN: Next trip down the court, J-Mac, as his friends and
future groupies will call him -- drains another 3 pointer!
HOG: That is the ultimate test of Slut-ism. Will a
woman whore herself out for a millionaire autistic kid? If
he’s that good, the kid DESERVES groupies.
JUSTIN: Wow then even Autistic kids would be getting laid
more than comedians!
HOG: Plus, remember the Be Like Mike commercial for
Michael Jordan? I’m scared to think of what will happen when
everyone want to Be Like Jason the Autistic Point Guard.
Actually, it may be very similar to Michael Jordan in that, while
driving to the basket, kids will have their tongue sticking out
their mouth.

JUSTIN: We’re officially two 3-pointers away from the
other team giving J-Mac a HARD FOUL to cool him off a bit. I mean if
your team is getting their ass handed to them by 20 points and then
they put in the autistic kid and he starts scoring points
like Charlie Sheen at a Vivid Video party, eventually things
are going to get a little bit chippy.
HOG: Hey! Charlie Sheen says he is a changed man. He's
reformed. He doesn't bang porn stars anymore. Only strippers.
JUSTIN: Mercifully the clock finally winds down as J-Mac
comes down and drains one last 3 pointer officially giving
him 20 points on 6 of 8 shooting in four minutes and nineteen
seconds of play. Which makes me feel rather pathetic because in 4
minutes this kid scored more points than I did in 3 years
of varsity play at Nathan Hale High School. Come to think of it,
maybe I was…. Nahhh, let’s not go there.
HOG: Are you saying you’re retarded? Are saying you
want to start a Retards vs. Autism Basketball League? What
the hell is wrong with you?!!! That’s terrible! Now if
it was Midgets vs. Engineers… that would be cool.
JUSTIN: Let’s just say that this is a true example of
how sports can create a positive experience. Kind of like any time
the Yankees get beat or Barry Bonds dresses up in drag
or the day you get the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.
HOG: Dude, you just compared the heartwarming story of
child overcoming his disability… to boobies.
Are you saying you want Sports
Illustrated to publish the Autistic Swimsuit Issue?
Dude!!!
That’s awesome! Why not? If it’s
inspiring for an autistic guy to be good at his sport, then
we should be equal and fair to an autistic girl for being
good at bikini sports!
