Jason "J-Mac" McElwain Bobbleheads

Don't miss out on the Jason "J-Mac" McElwain Bobbleheads. The bobbleheads feature Jason McElwain, who attracted international media attention for his performance in a Senior Night basketball game for Greece Athena High School in 2006. The bobbleheads are being produced in conjunction with Jason McElwain.

Diagnosed with autism at two years old, McElwain was the student manager for the basketball team at Greece Athena High School in the suburb of Rochester, New York. On February 15th, 2006, McElwain was given the opportunity to suit up for the Senior Night game against Spencerport by coach Jim Johnson. With the Trojans holding a comfortable lead, McElwain, wearing No. 52, entered the game with 4 minutes, 19 seconds remaining. After missing his first two shots, McElwain got “hot as a pistol.” He made six 3-pointers and seven total baskets for a game-high 20 points much to the delight of the large crowd. After burying his final shot – a deep 3-pointer from the right wing – right before the final buzzer sounded, the Athena student section stormed the court to celebrate their unlikely hero.

“J-Mac” ended up receiving an ESPY Award in the “Best Sports Moment” category, beating out Kobe Bryant’s 81-point game. He met President George W. Bush, numerous sports celebrities, and appeared on various talk shows, including The Oprah Winfrey Show, Larry King Live, Good Morning America and Today.
