the amazing thing, is that he had such awful form that if he took that shot again he would miss it 999 out of 1000 times....good for him

[@hyperoptic904]

TheAkaMarb lmao all facts

[@Archdukecollins]

Hear me out. I think this guys shot is the equivalent of when an old lady spins a dollar on the price is right wheel. all their strength to get the wheel around one time equals a dollar. They can replicate that infinitely because there’s no touch or variables involved. Full strength equals a dollar. I think that applies here to a lesser extent. That guy threw the ball as hard as he could, coincidentally that’s the exact distance the ball needed to travel, he just needs to aim and he’s going to make it. 1 in 1000 isnt right. 1 in 50 id say. Maybe 1 in 100.

[@ezraprzytyk]

Lmao from that distance trust me form isn't that important.
