jason s fan base quickly expands into a much wider audience thanks to those amateur videos. i saw a lot of letters for the white house. meeting president bush. getting to meet magic johnson. going to the final four that year. jason leaves greece athena high school as a student in 2006. but in 2009 returns to his alma mater, this time as an assistant coach. no one would deny it s a triumph jason has earned. it feels great to get back to the game that i always loved. now everyone is saying an autistic kid can do this. if he can achieve this, it s nothing to run from. it s nothing to be afraid of who you are. i feel like he inspired probably millions of people. do whatever you put your mind to. you can achieve anything you want.
february 15th, 2006, excitement is building for greece athena s last game of the season. very excited that there was a game that night. and that there was a chance that he was going to be able to get in for the first time. in the back of my mind i was just thinking oh my goodness i hope the coach lets him in. fans fill the bleachers. many are shooting amateur video as the game gets under way. they have signs, j-mac signs. they had pictures of his face on little paint sticks. it sent a chill down your back. second half, the clock is ticking down, and jason, number 52 is still on the the bench. the crowd throughout the game, because they would periodically start chanting we want j-mac. just in case i had forgotten.
