Best Moment (ESPY)

This one is tough...

The nominations:
Kobe Bryant -- 81 points in a game. You know when the women teachers at work were talking about the game it was a BIG deal.

Dakoda Dowd -- LPGA...this is the girl whose mother has breast cancer. Her mother always talked about being able to see her daughter play professional Golf. Dakoda did that and played well. It was culminated by a huge hug on the 18th that should be the cover on any Mother's Day card issued.

Jason McElwain -- This is the team manager in new york that is developmentally slow (i think it is autism?). He loves basketball and when he realized he can't play became team manager. Totally excited about everythign the HS team did. The final game the coach let him suit up as a teammate and he got in the game. When he got in the game he didn't just play he was "en fuego" the boy kept chucking 3's and hitting them. Was the leading scorer for the game.

George Mason -- Jim Laranaga's bunch makes the run that defines everything we love about the NCAA tournament. This could have been Hoosiers for college ball. The hotel's where the final 4 was didn't even know that George Mason was a school and not a person booking a room.

When i sit in front of my tv and start to tear up. You know it's over. I was blown away by the Jason McElwain story when they did it on ESPN. I know they are making a movie but i think the real life thing is so much more powerful. This is my vote although i could see any (besides teh Kobe ) getting it.
