You know what I like about these guys, they are always humble, never cocky, and you don't hear about them getting in trouble on the news. I appreciate that.

[@ralphmiller2620]

That is part of being great roll models!!

[@BlueKidSwag]

Getting in trouble on the news? What you assume since their Black their bound to be in trouble?

[@fishsquishguy1833]

@@BlueKidSwag I assumed Pro Athlete is what he meant? That’s the first thing that I thought

[@sleeves1235]

I read the TRUE STORY on that shot. It took him 16 attempts before he made it. YOU THAT STILL ISN'T THAT BAD FOR BEING THAT HIGH ? ANYONE ELSE AGREE ??

[@deathwarrent8465]

Better shooting % then Ben Simmons 3pt shot😂

[@michaelkibler.5636]

I got a pay check that says he could stand there all day and shoot it and not come close . So did you read the real true story on how he really made that shot . Wake up people it’s called technology between the ball and rim nothing what so ever to do with the person shooting it . So turn the tech.. off and he misses all day .

[@JS-te4gz]

He was straight man....no way he got up there if he was high

[@edski8536]

I was wondering was that his 1st shot😹😂😅

[@jhighturntup5558]

Yeah a lot of people couldn't make a three-pointer if you gave them 16 shots

You know you’re afraid of heights when your heart drops in your stomach while watching the 🏀 drop.

[@LoSTRaMaiR]

Happened to me as soon as he walked to the ledge.

[@Cruzito420]

The bottom of my feet tingled when i watched this .

[@cynthianorman9154]

[@alecb1178]

Hahaha and your feet become light lol.

[@gutenbird]

Army Vet you ain’t kidding. Hard to watch.

[@billace90]

Amazing. Not only the huge height (distance), was such a negative factor, the wind speed, the difficulty at that angle, and he made it! Unbelievable. Good show!

[@primovid]

After watching all these young basketball trick shooters in other videos, i'm so happy to see one of the Harlem Globetrotters set the world record! I used to watch and love them when I was a kid 45 years ago!

Am I the only one that believes he got it on the first try?

[@scottwins2]

[@jjd1799]

16 attempts. Google it bro. I couldn’t believe it myself

[@CelebrityGamerTV]

Whoa! That’s amazing! The Globetrotters don’t disappoint.

[@hughdr10]

Are they supposed to make us believe this was done on one take?

[@sinodeutsch5777]

No.... no one thinks that and no one thinks they thought that we would think that. Just you. Just you, my friend.

[@ApriliaRSA250]

No. But it was a pain in the backside walking down to get the ball for each take!

[@hughdr10]

They could of provided how many attempts it took in the description. Is that too hard?

[@GiniSsen]

+D. H. You never know, they did world records in one take

I have to check out the Globe Trotters next time they’re in Fort Wayne! I saw them as a kid in the 70s and met Meadowlark Lemon! They were so much fun. Good memories!

[@szervosz]

Great sportsman and physicist, he used what we call in physics "Magnus effect", where the curved path of a ball is due largely to the ball's spinning motion (about its vertical axis) and the Magnus effect, causing a horizontal force that moves the ball from a straight line in its trajectory.

[@leopribicevic1999]

[@gauchohombre1768]

@* AnimalHeadSpirit * sorry my friend, I don't care what their 'life career' is....there is no way anyone does this in 16 attempts....not even 100 hundred attempts at this height. Perhaps you wish to defend human abilities but I'm in the camp of 'needing to see this before I believe it'. This video lies and just wants the clicks. But I appreciate you wanting to come to the defense of it. Good on ya mate.
