Raise your hand if you can sink a three-point shot. Okay, fine, I get it, you’re all great at basketball. Now raise your hand if you could do it with your eyes closed. Not so hot now, are we? That’s what makes it so awesomely remarkable and cool that a blind man hit a three-point shot during halftime of a college basketball game — winning him free McDonald’s for a year.
In a video that’s lighting up the Internet recently, fans at a College of the Ozarks basketball game go absolutely crazy when 54-year-old Michael hits the three-point shot perfectly, without being able to actually see the basket.
As if that wasn’t impressive enough, KSPR-TV has a follow-up story that shows just how many setbacks he’s had to deal with, and how he’s triumphing over all those obstacles.

Why would they penalize him like that
Zen basketball.
12:49 It's a bad prize for him. In before he tries redeeming at burger king or arbies.
Even a blind person knows the difference between arbies and Arby's.
His next obstacles will be obesity and clogged arteries.
2:29 My apologies for misspelling your kingdom's name. I do not partake in fast food, therefor I got it wrong. May you, and the other fast food nazis, have mercy on me in sentencing.
Well atleast he wont have to worry about going blind from diabetes.

Sorry to inform you but I do not eat fast food, but I can spell. Your comment about about a blind person not knowing the difference between one fast food restaurant and another reeks of ignorance about people with disabilities.
