More Than The Game Basketball
In this Jan. 10, 2013, photo, high school basketball player Ethan McConnell poses for a photo at the Falls City High School gym in Falls City, Ore. In the first basketball game of the season against Mapleton, Ethan grabbed a rebound and intentionally passed it to a member of the opposing team, Davan Overton, who shot and made a 3-pointer at the buzzer. The Mapleton junior had attempted several shots that were rebounded by his team but all were misses. Davan was diagnosed with Dandy-Walker variant, a condition that slows brain development and is caused by a cyst on his spine. The risk his condition represents limits what he can do, but he has played basketball since middle school, specializing in 3-point shots. (AP Photo/The Oregonian, Jamie Francis)
