Have you seen this - Texas doctors compete with wheelchair basketball team?

Peterson Regional Medical Center celebrated National Rehabilitation Awareness Week with the fourth annual basketball game Thursday pitting physicians against the San Antonio Spurs Wheelchair Basketball Team.
“Like all of our events this week, it’s a community awareness we are after,” said Lori Michel, Peterson director of rehabilitation services. “It’s so important to show the impact our unit has with our patients.”
This year, the game took a different approach as the doctors and members of the San Antonio Spurs Wheelchair Basketball Team were mixed into two teams.
