Basketball player with only one leg goes viral after hitting 3-pointers like a boss

A basketball player with only one leg has gone viral after he was captured on video hitting three-pointers like a boss despite his disability.

According to Deann Otic, the uploader of the video, she was amazed with what she saw from Judy Abinuman, the one-legged sharpshooter.

"Hindi siya pangkaraniwan. 'Yung talent talaga niya, sobrang nakakahanga. Ang hirap kayang gawin ng ganoon," Otic said in Raffy Tima's report on "24 Oras" on Friday.

("It's extraordinary. His talent is amazing. What he did was difficult.")

Abinuman, who currently lives in Masbate but grew up in Caloocan, said he was born without one of his legs.

He learned basketball after his cousins invited him to play most of the time. When he was 18, he discovered that he had a shooting touch and could shoot  accurately from beyond the arc.

Now, he is a member of a basketball team and regularly plays the sport.

"Sa isip ko po, normal lang ako," Abinuman said. "'Di ko po iniisip na may kapansanan ako."

("In my mind, I'm normal. I am not thinking about my disability.")

Abinuman said he hopes to play in other leagues or in the Paralympics someday.

He also encouraged other persons with disabilities to show their talents.

"Huwag silang mahiya, ipakita nila [ang] talent nila, kung saan sila masaya."

("Don't be ashamed to show your talent and what makes you happy.")
