Ezra's Dream Comes True



Ezra Clayton met his idol a few days ago at Staples. He is a special child with physical difficulties, but with a dream, basketball, and an idol, Pau Gasol.
Ezra, whose left leg is orthopedic, saw a great dream come true, meeting his favorite player of the Lakers, Pau Gasol . Ezra is a big fan of Pau and his energy and optimism are incredible.

The meeting, of which you can see in the video just over the text (courtesy of ABC), showed the joy of a child who has overcome adversity of life. Pau made him happy, but Pau was very happy to see him.

Ezra plays basketball and follows the Lakers, and he does what Gasol does. Recently he even cut his hair because Pau did it. The child had one of his best days, but Pau will not forget the meeting with one of their his special fans.

"Ezra's story is very inspiring and moving, he transmits great energy and life! He's an amazing example of a child who can and will overcome pretty much anything in life. Meeting him and his parents has meant a lot to me, he's one of the sweetest kids I've ever met!".

El mejor monólogo en décadas!

Por favor, tenéis que ver el siguiente vídeo. Es tronchante como pocos. Se trata del presidente ejecutivo de Timofónica "advirtiendo" a plataformas como Google y otras por el estilo que en un futuro muy próximo tendrán que soltarles pasta por usar "sus" redes.

Es una guasa total. Uno de los mejores vídeos que he visto nunca. La verdad es que el tío tiene un potencial enoooorme. En el club de la comedia harían bien en ficharlo. Es un diamante en bruto.

El vídeo está genial sobre todo por los comentarios que la gente fue añadiendo sobre el mismo. Os recomiendo especialmente que el minuto 2:43 (es un momento único) debéis de pasarlo varias veces y notaréis como vuestra risa va "in crescendo" con cada nueva pasada. Recomendable verlo en pandilla por eso de que la risa es contagiosa.

Nota: si os aparece cortado el vídeo por el margen derecho (lo notaréis cuando ciertos comentarios aparezcan cortados), hacer click sobre el vídeo para que se os abra una pestaña a tamaño completo y así poder verlo adecuadamente.
