AN: This story is inspired by a young man named Jason McElwain. He is a teen who's a basketball hero and a hero to people with disabilities all over the world. This isn't a typical One Tree Hill story but I hope ya'll give it a chance because I think it'd be interesting to see this on the show. If you don't know J-mac's story, please look him up on youtube. You'll be just as amazed as I was 5 years ago when I first heard of him.

Summary: Nathan teaches his son Jamie a valuable lesson in the game and life.

I look at my son as he dribbles the ball around the tarmac. So happy and full of life even after everything our family has been through. He makes a shot and the ball goes in perfectly. This is going to be a good day.

Nathan laughed as Jamie ran up the stairs when they told him Haley was pregnant. Typical little boy unsure if he really wanted a little sister. Later he'd be thrilled with the idea but right now he didn't know.

Soon, father and son were at the RiverCourt. Nathan was practicing while Jamie played On The Road. The game was going fine until the boy tried Boston. "Get out of guard, Scott. You should've stayed in the car, ya retard," he spouted in a thick accent.

Nathan halted and turned slightly. "Hey, don't say retard."

"I'm just saying, I heard someone call you that last year," the 7 year old shrugged, not realizing.

"Ok but you don't say it." Jamie didn't know what to say after his dad corrected him so he just continued to play.

Later that night Nathan was watching tv when Haley wrapped her arms around his shoulders to kiss him. "What's on your mind, baby?"

"Nothing really, just thinking." He then gestured at the tv.

"Oh I remember seeing this game back in school," Haley smiled.

"Yeah, this kid was amazing. Did you know I saw him last year when I went to rehab?"

"Oh really? How is he?" she curled into her husband's side.

"He's doing really good. I was kind of a jerk to him because I was mad all the time but something Jamie said today got me thinking."

"What'd our boy say?"

Nathan smiled and kissed his girl's forehead. "I was teaching him not to say something. It just made me think how this kid used to be treated. Our boy's growin' up good but he should know what to do in that situation, not learn the hard way like we did."

Haley looked adoringly up at the love of her life. "I think it's time our little man met this hometown hero."

"I think you're right, Haley James."

AN: more to come soon, I hope all of you enjoy this :).
