NBC Nightly News had a brief story about a 8 year old Zeke Ortiz who is the only deaf player on the Playmakers basketball team, NBC Jenna Wolfe reported the story. He already knows he wants to be a pro basketball player. His dad is his main interpreter during the games. Plus a nice game of HORSE against Jenna Wolfe. Totally cool story. Wonder who won the game of HORSE? We’ll let you find out on your own!

DID YOU KNOW?: Zeke, his 10-year-old brother Zion, their parents, grandparents and nine cousins are all deaf.
