David "Chubbs" Stillman: Overrated



Rivals- With the game already decided, Gunn called a timeout and put [Chubbs] Stillman back into the game. "When Coach Gunn called timeout to get Chubbs back into the game, I asked the kids, 'How do we want this to end?' " opposing coach Chris Wilkenson said. "Chubbs had already scored, but they didn't care. "They said, 'Coach we want him to hit another shot.' It shows that these kids have real character." And hit another shot he did. Stillman, with a flair for the dramatic, hit a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to close the game.

We've all seen the story before. Special needs student and team manager gets put into the game for the first time ever because it is his senior year and his last game. But what really pisses me off about this specific story is the kids on the other team. They just let him score. How the hell does that help this kid? I say block the shit out of him. NO EASY BUCKETS. What life lesson are you teaching this kid? He can do whatever he wants just because he has special needs? Hell no. Send that shot back right into his face. Make him earn it.

People like Chubbs make real performers like Jason McElwain look bad. J-Mac is the real deal.



J-Mac misses is first shot about as bad as David Wesley. But does he give up? He goes on to hit six threes. Every single one of them right in a defender's eye (maybe #32 was a special needs player for the other team?). In the words of J-Mac himself, "I was on fire. I was hotter than a pistol". I hope you let those words sink in Chubbs.
