AWESOME!! A kid at my high schol did something similar, but it was only a half court shot (and he had 2 seconds, and it sent the game into OT instead of winning)

We used to play lightning a lot in grade school.. and as we grew, we moved further away. It started in 3rd grade at the free-throw line. In 6th grade, we started ridiculously far away - like half court and sometimes further. The ridiculously far shots were made a lot more than one would think.

But, a shot like that during a game is just crazy.. Wow is right.

So in other words he did something totally different. Gotcha...

Amazing.

You could try it that way for 100 shots and still NOT GET ONE in let alone in a game to win the match :)

It's the worst way to be beaten by this kind of shot. Had he made the free throw, the outcome will be different, but then we'll never witness this amazing shot.
