This Back Yard Basketball Trick Shot Will Make You Momentarily Forget That Trick Shots Are Lame


My general view on trick shots is: get a job, bro. Like you know there were like 3 billion failed attempts before the one that gets posted on the internets and I usually can’t shake that from my head. But this one, this one pulled on my heart strings a bit. The production value, the dubstep track in the background, the use of not one, but TWO basketballs, the slow motion celebration, and the fact that the dude can do a backflip on the ground is damn spectacular. Good work, bro. Now get a job.

Matt’s love of writing was born during a sixth grade assembly when it was announced that his essay titled “Why Drugs Are Bad” had taken first prize in D.A.R.E.’s grade-wide contest. The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
