[DavidsTheBestAtK]

Can you imagine that? a few days before your life long dream is about to come true, you aren't able to play anymore. I'd be gutted man.

[DaveTheUseless]

Extremely touching. He's a brave young man, and I'm confident he'll succeed at whatever it is he'll dedicate his life to.

This makes me very sad, but I'm glad he's got such a great attitude, god bless the young man..

I've watched over and over again, and every time Silver says "with the next pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, the NBA selects, Isaiah Austin" the chills omg the chills...

[calebsmith]

Legit cried buckets when they announced his name. No one should ever take what they have for granted. What a brave man.
