A man, Ziaire Williams, plays basketball with several Special Olympics athletes on an indoor court.

Junior Harewood: We have Ziaire Williams coming in from the Brooklyn Nets doing a training session of the New York Wildcats, which is one of the teams that are part of the Special Olympics.

A close-up shows an orange and white basketball resting on a rack. A basketball goes through a red hoop with a white net. An athlete wearing a black Nets jersey throws his arms up in celebration. The scene cuts to the athlete speaking to the camera.

Kenny: We're happy to come here and… and play ball here. Learning new stuff, playing good sports and stuff, and basketball and everything.

A woman in a black jersey smiles and spins a basketball on her finger. A wide shot shows the athletes and Ziaire Williams practicing on the court.

Kenny: Got some really cool experience. Have fun. That's the most important thing, is have fun. Enjoy the experience.

Kenny smiles and high-fives Ziaire Williams. Ziaire Williams shoots a jump shot. The scene cuts back to Junior Harewood speaking, though we hear his voice over footage of the athletes playing. Kenny dribbles the ball towards the basket and shoots a layup. He then shoots another jump shot.

Junior Harewood: It's inspiring that, you know, any kind of triumphs or challenges you think you're dealing with... it's to know that people are dealing with things that are bigger than you, and it helps you to persevere.

The screen fades to white. Two logos appear side-by-side. On the left is the logo for the Special Olympics USA Games, featuring a circle made of colorful, stylized figures. On the right is the blue UnitedHealthcare logo. The music fades.
