and sank a three-pointer. and if you didn't quite see that, don't worry because shortly after, he got the ball again. this time on the near side for another three-pointer. at the buzzer. jamarion styles, the kid no one would pick, was now everyone's hero. since we first told this story, he has continued to play basketball in high school and now the rising junior is hoping to play football as well. he tried out for the team last year and didn't make it. so, of course, he's trying out again. that's him there in the white shirt. and even if he doesn't make the team, you can bet there will be another sport because the only thing jamarion styles won't play is the victim. i can wave a magic wand right now and give you your arms back, would you want them? >> i don't need them. >> you don't need them? >> nope.
