In high school I guarded a one-handed player at the end of a game my Sophomore year. At first I was nervous because I didn't want to embarrass them and steal the ball. After a few seconds I realized, I didn't want to get embarrassed by his superior ball-handling.
That brings me to Kevin Laue. Laue is a 6'10" basketball player who was recently signed to a D-1 scholarship at Manhattan University. Kevin was also born with one-hand.
It is a great story not just because of someone overcoming a disability to fulfill a dream, but because of what it says about first impressions. Yes someone with one hand can be a better basketball player than you. I hope he dominates at the next level.
