76ers sign a boy with Down's Syndrome

Kevin Grow, an adolescent of 18 years with Down’s syndrome, signed a 2 day contract with the Philadelphia 76ers.

Once again sport gives us a lesson. Kevin Grow is a guy from Bensalem High School in Pennsylvania. During the last 4 years, Kevin serves as assistant coach in his college team. But in the last two games, the coach gave him the opportunity to play some minutes. In that time he could show his ability on this sport, scoring 14 points and scoring at the buzzer.

All this was perceived by the 76ers. They decided to fulfill Kevin’s dream with this priceless gesture. The surprise came in the form of a contract, a 2 day contract that allowed the boy to train with Sixers’ players. Moreover, apart from the gifts received, Kevin would be introduced in the game as any other player, in the match against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The NBA shows again this caring side with which it carries happiness to many people all around the world. It is the perfect example to follow and the model, in my opinion, that should be carried out in other major leagues.
