YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMeet Jo Jo Hayes, a teenage amputee in Champaign, Illinois, who plays basketball better than most kids his age. "He shoots that ball like he's standing on two legs," said his proud mom, Tamara Washington. When Joseph was just 1 year old, a severe case of meningitis cut off blood flow to his legs, leading to a double amputation.
His life turned around when he picked up a basketball. The high school star is especially skilled at half-court shots — and even sank a three-pointer at a University of Illinois college game. The crowd went wild, and Jo Jo went viral. Watch his inspiring story — and hear about his dreams of going to the Paralympics — in this episode of "Extraordinary People."
