Bone cancer victim and high school varsity basketball player Jeffrey Cota is off the court, but kept his game going on his Xbox 360. That is, until he underwent surgery in Boston and had his 360 stolen from his home by three (alleged) sons of bitches. Two have been arrested, with a third expected in the clink soon, say police.

So what good could come out of a basketball career ending illness and a home robbery? The kindness of strangers (duh)!

When his parents broke the news about the theft, in the same breath they were able to say somebody has already donated an Xbox to you with enough money to replace all the games.

Man, that kid is SO lucky. Just kidding. That's not funny at all.

Thanks for the tip, Michael. Michael McWhertor
