    SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Jazz signed a 5-year-old, free-agent guard to a
    one-day contract for a special scrimmage Monday night.

    JP Gibson, who was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, signed his
    contract with Jazz president Randy Rigby before joining the team in uniform
    for the annual preseason intrasquad scrimmage at EnergySolutions Arena.

    JP was joined by his parents, Josh and Megan, and his 2-year-old sister,
    Elsie. The family was hosted by the Jazz and photographer Jon Diaz’s
    “Anything Can Be” project, which creates storybooks for children with
    cancer about their dreams and wishes.

    JP, wearing a No. 1 jersey, even got to play in the scrimmage. He was
    passed the ball and dribbled into the lane, where center Rudy Gobert lifted
    him up so he could dunk and slap hands with some players as fans roared.

    The Jazz tweeted a photo of JP holding up his new Jazz jersey with his
    family.

    What a beautiful boy. Jesus loves you, JP :)

    May allah help this little innocent boy. 

  12. Can anyone deny that flooding every White country in the world (and ONLY
    White countries) with tens of millions of non-Whites and forcing their
    assimilation into the White community is an act of genocide?
    Black countries will remain Black, and Asian countries will remain Asian,
    White countries are the ONLY countries to be affected by this.
    But, rather than genocide, the word that anti-Whites use to describe this
    program is “diversity.”
    Diversity means chasing down White flight.
    Anti-racist is a codeword for anti-White.

    people in this world..

    Sure,it is easy to watch the pro basketball teams make graceful dunks but
    this monster dunk is horrific to watch for all the terror it inspired upon
    others!

  15. Poor kid, guess we won’t be seeing him next year. So long.

    Sometimes the simple things are the best.

    Sure, it made this kid’s day, but imagine the parents :-) it also made the
    day of 17000 fans, two teams, and me.
