76ers Sign Bucks County Teen with Down Syndrome

There are so many stories we read every day that are sad or disheartening but every so often, there is a story that makes you feel better about humanity. This is one of those stories.  Bensalem's Kevin Grow, a teen who has Down Syndrome, became an internet sensation after an amazing performance in his last basketball game as a senior, signed a contract with the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers.

Kevin was a basketball manager for the Bensalem boy's team for 4 years until senior night. Grow suited up to play that night and hit 4 3-point shots to help his team beat Neshaminy 64-40.

The 76ers announced that they would sign Grow to a 2-day contract on Monday.  The contract was offered by Sixers President of Basketball Operations and General Manager Sam Hinkie at the team's practice facility.
