Basketball is a highly demanding sport that requires some serious athletic acumen. While it’s not impossible for specially-abled folks to play ball games, it is quite difficult for them to do so. In the viral video, a large group of basketball players can be seen holding a specially-abled woman up as she attempts to score a point by shooting the ball into the basket. Much to everyone’s dismay, the lady kept trying to shoot baskets but the point remained elusive to her.

However, things take a positive turn as after several attempts, the woman is finally able to push the ball into the basket and the surrounding crowd erupts with joy. After cheering her on, the same group of basketball players helped her down the height with utmost care and respect. The truly heartwarming video has since been viewed more than 32.4k times and Twitter users can’t seem to get enough of it.

There were several appreciative comments that were left underneath the viral post. One user said: “Kindness that’s all (that) matters in life!” along with a victory sign. Another user commented and said: “Let’s lift each other up!”
