RSS FeedThe World’s Longest Basketball Shot (VIDEO)
Evan Sellers of The Legendary Shots (a group that tapes themselves pulling off the most difficult basketball tricks and posts the footage on YouTube), successfully made the world’s longest basketball shot. Sellers threw a Spalding ball from the top of the Vulcan Monument in Birmingham, Alabama to a basket waiting below.
Ridiculous.
Here are the measurements the Legendary Shots provided:
Height: The platform is 134 feet above ground level, and the ball was released from about 6 feet above the platform. The goal was 10 feet high and was placed about 10 feet below the base of the statue, meaning the height from hoop to shooter was 140 feet.
Length: This is harder to tell, but we had a few people pace it off, and they came in at between 50 and 60 paces. The average person’s pace is about 3 feet, so the length of the shot is about 150-180 feet.
