Shahe has dreams of playing for the Denver Nuggets one day.
For now, the passionate, 12-year-old Nuggets fan will have to settle for getting buckets on his Unified Special Olympics basketball team in Erie, Colorado, his hometown.
Shahe has autism, but always has a positive outlook on life. As a result of his determination and passion for the game of basketball, especially Nuggets basketball, he was recently honored as the Nugget For A Day Monday before the Nuggets took on the San Antonio Spurs.
“It’s an honor for us to be here,” Shahe’s father Chris said, following the family’s participation in and viewing experience of Nuggets shootaround on Monday.
