Videos of Jaden James, Special Olympics Arkansas basketball player, have gone viral.

15-year-old Jaden James, Special Olympics Oklahoma, sunk this 3-point bucket during a basketball tournament in Fort Smith. If you think it was just a fluke, think again.

After the video went viral (getting over a million views on ESPN’s Sports Center alone), the Harlem Globetrotters invited him to suit up as a special guest at their Tulsa, OK game. When Jaden stepped on the court to show his stuff, he hit this 3-point shot on his first try to the roaring delight of the crowd.

Jaden’s coach says the team and entire school are excitedly celebrating Jaden’s successes.
