Nuggets bring Pepsi Center atmosphere to Unified Games and Special Olympics Colorado

AURORA, Colo. -- When Regis Jesuit High School unified athlete Megan dribbled down the court, she saw an opening towards the lane and tried to attack it. However, she lost control of the ball and slipped face forward. After an emotional moment on the hardwood, she was helped up by a teammate. Seconds later, she would send dozens of spectators in the stands into a frenzy as she knocked down a bucket from seven feet out. That is the beauty of the Special Olympics Unified Games. It’s a chance for athletes of all abilities to be celebrated for their various skill levels and encouraged to embrace sports

Megan makes the basket and the crowd goes wild!
