Basketball player attempts halfcourt shot just because. Then it hit the ceiling.

If you have an opportunity to shoot your shoot, you should take it. Having said that, sometimes it doesn’t work out that well.

This team inbounded the ball and one of the players decided to take just one dribble and then immediately chuck the ball for a halfcourt attempt. There’s only one problem. It doesn’t go in. By a lot.

The ball actually hits the ceiling and falls back down just a little over the halfcourt line. It probably would have been a better idea if he had thrown an underhand shot, but that’s just hindsight talking.

The real question is why he would even attempt this shot in the first place. He’s probably doing it to be petty against one or all of his teammates. Maybe the person throwing the ball inbounds advised him against shooting from long range and he decided to show him what a real long range shot looked like. Regardless, mad respect.

Are we 100 percent sure that’s not Andrew Bynum shooting that halfcourt shot? After all, he did get kicked out of practice for shooting halfcourt shots as soon as he got the ball. That’s basically what this dude was doing.
