I remember Mike Glenn well when he played for the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA before he retired in 1987. He also played for the Buffalo Braves, New York Knicks and Atlanta Hawks.

What was inspirational to me is that he learned some ASL and he ran a basketball camp to invite Deaf kids only which didn’t cost them a dime. Because he knew a little bit of ASL, he was able to communicate with deaf kids and giving them some good tips on playing basketball.

One thing I must say that bugs me is that the video regarding the camp for deaf kids, which is posted on CNN, isn’t captioned at all.

So my question is how can there be videos with a deaf related topic that have no captions for deaf people like us to be able to watch?

You can find this video on their site: Click here

Tsk tsk, CNN.
