1-arm basketball player Kevin Laue

Kevin Laue (18 years old in 2008) is a 6’10” tall American high school student and basketball player from Pleasanton, California. He was born with one arm and has been recognized for his skills and success in overcoming adversity. In 2008 he was playing at a military academy in Virgina and is a prospect for collegiate play.

In 2007 Sports Illustrated called him “the most exciting player in basketball”.

His story is inspirational, for sure.

Kevin got a big write-up too in the NY Times – Prospect Provides Inspiration With What He Doesn’t Have

He reminds me of the even more amazing 1-armed gymnast Carol Johnston. She went on to become an NCAA apparatus champion featured in the Disney film called Lefty.
