Never EVER Give Up!!

Mikhail Nelyubov certainly doesn't.

Well, technically it is easier when you have 40% less body mass and have a small frame to begin with. I don't see how pointing out an obvious emotionless fact would be considered insensitive. A 7 foot tall, large framed fully able bodied person would have to work significantly harder time (if not impossible) trying to accomplish the same feats. I don't think anyone physically challenged or gifted is so oblivious to this fact, that if you were to bring it up, they would be hurt or offended in anyway.

Good on him for making the most of what he has got. Certainly makes my efforts (or lack of) look embarrassingly shameful.

What an unnecessary comment. He has no legs, but that fact does not diminish his spirit - you insensitive prick.

Apparently he has legs, or at least one (he only straps for the first set of layups) and he is both able to bend and straighten at least the one leg out for his flat layups. At the same time being in a wheel chair all his life has lead to a) lighter body mass and b) he only ever uses his upper muscles. I won't discredit anyone who keeps in shape in today's world, but due to this kids circumstances he uses his arms to make up for what ever his legs cant do.

Very impressive. If I were in his situation, I'm pretty sure I'd just play video games all day. That said, in this particular situation, I feel like it could come off as a bit condescending to say something like "Wow, I'm amazed he can do this despite his handicap!"
