One-armed Chinese boy dazzles NBA star Stephen Curry

"Who is this kid? Help me find him!" posted basketball star Stephen Curry on Weibo, a Chinese social media platform, while reposting a clip showing a one-armed Chinese teenager playing basketball.

The boy is Zhang Jiacheng, 14, who was born in Guangdong, and lost his right arm in an accident when he was five years old. "I will work hard," replied the boy.

Stephen Curry then sent a video to encourage Zhang to stay strong. The MVP called the boy an inspiration and hailed his spirit to overcome difficulties.

In a newly-made video, Zhang said: "Hello, Curry, I'm a huge fan of yours. My name is Zhang Jiacheng. I love you so much because though you are not one of the big guys in the NBA, you still managed to achieve so much success. I admire you so much."

Zhang addressed his physical disability, saying that shooting with one arm made his game inconsistent. However, that's why he made up his mind to invest more in dribble practice because the skillful way of dealing with the ball helps him penetrate more effectively and thus shoot the ball closer to the rim.

Zhang also revealed his favorite CBA players: Yi Jianlian of the Guangdong Southern Tigers and Guo Ailun of the Liaoning Flying Leopards. Zhang said he loves Yi's mid-range killer and dominance in the paint as well as Guo's dazzling dribbles.

In fact, Yi already took note of Zhang three days ago. Having shared the 14-year-old's video, Yi posted on Weibo: "Your heart is always the strongest part of your body."

Yi's former national teammate Zhu Fangyu also reposted the video, commenting: "I have never seen any kid play basketball better than him. We want to invite him to visit the Southern Tigers (When the CBA returns and fans are allowed to attend the games, Zhang is welcomed to watch our game in the stadium)."

It's easy to be impressed by Zhang's remarkable handling of the ball. His dribbling, slashing and other moves made it even harder to believe that this kid learned these skills in less than two years. Zhang said his dream is to become a professional basketball player in the future. Judging by the way he plays, you know he is serious.
