People have opportunities everyday to do one of two things -- the right or the wrong. Should I run this yellow light? Should I help that lady with her groceries? Should I understand that some things are more important than just winning a game?

The last question brings us to a high school basketball game between a team in Milwaukee and a team from Illinois, playing an otherwise meaningless basketball game to us in the "national" media. The reason this game was important is because one team decided to do something more important than the game. They acted as humans, being there for another human, and that is where a heartwarming story was made
