Will somebody please pass me that box of tissues?

Mitchell Marcus is the loyal and passionate manager of the Coronado High School basketball team – the Thunderbears – and he also happens to have a developmental disability.

In the final game of the season, coach Peter Morales named Mitchell in the squad with the sole goal being to help him score a basket.

It didn’t quite work out the way he envisaged.

The clip was originally released in 2013, but it’s gone viral again and it’s easy to see why.

We’ll say no more; just watch this and pretend there’s something in your eye afterwards.
