The coach is an incredible man. I wish I knew how to give as he does. Mutu is the real " million dollar baby ". I wonder if Clint Eastwood saw this program. The players are so strong and inspiring.

I think a major motion picture should be made to case the event of the struggles that these people face. And then the truimph of human spirit. I'd love to show each character's developement from being sad and not wanting to go on in life to coming full circle. I am lucky not to be disabled. However it goes to show that those with disabilities are no different. I have a new friend. A woman who has got to be one of the most gorgeous women I have seen. And I honsetly don't think of her any different.

I missed the first 15 minutes of "Kiss My Wheels", so I have no idea how to contact the coach and team. I would like to meet them one day. Where are they from? That was one of the most moving and inspiring programs that my wike Kim and I ever saw! I would like to know if the coach is available to speak at Banquets. I would like to get an autographed picture of the team too, if possible. Are they local? If so, I would love to attend one of their games!! Danny

This video is a remarkable statement about pride, fortitude, ability, and empathy. The coach gets my vote as both a humanitarian, gentle disciplinarian and motivator. What a wonderful teacher to these kids. The video is a must show to school children in middle and high school but also to college kids taking courses on adolescence, on disability, in both regular and special education. I plan to recommend it to my colleague who teaches a course at my university on developmental disabilities.

I am so proud of each of those athletes! I am a retired wc bb player and racer. and a retired coach. Retired only becuz I'm too busy with my responsibilities as dir of sports and recreation at Courage Center - home of the jr. Timberwolves, Lightning, Rolling Rowdies and Rascals. Your kids stand head and shoulders above ab kids - in their thinking, self expression, courage and compassion. It's about time someone has made a documentary that really says it all about abilities. Thx

that was such an amazing, inspiring documentary. wow! it really made you look at the world from the eyes of those teens. those kids (i hate saying kids because they are much more mature and strong than most adults i know) are so incredible....what they have been through and how strong they have become. the way they play basketball is even more difficult than traditional basketball. it really made me look at life in a different perspective. i have told so many of my friends about this program. i hope it airs again soon so they can see it. the kids, the families, friends, and people involved in creating this documetary....what an amazing group of people!!! thank you!!!

I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to view such an educationlly uplifting program about people who are all too often marginalized from the mainstream. I found the courage and diligence demonstrated by these young people most indicative of the human ability to make the most of any situation by surving, and in this case doing so with style. Thanks a million for opening my eyes. Paul
