Video: LeBron James tackles fan after nailing half-court shot for 75k
A fan named Michael Drysch nailed a half-court hook shot during Friday’s game between the Pistons and Heat in Miami, winning $75,000 and the right to be tackled by NBA MVP LeBron James in celebration.
The $75,000 shot was sponsored by LeBronJames.com and Carmex, according to Fox Sports Florida. The Miami Herald reported that Drysch, 50, is a Bulls fan.
ESPN.com reported more from Drysch’s post-shot reaction.
“It’s a great way to meet somebody like that,” Drysch said, as he was presented the oversized check. “I had no idea he was coming over to me like that. That was amazing. What a great feeling to experience something like this.”
“They told me to put some spin on the ball, and get it up there as high as I could,” Drysch said. “I had made that shot something like 1 percent of the time in my life.”
James posted a message on Twitter about the shot after the game: “How bout my man Michael with the sky hook from half court for 75k large!!! #wow #awesomeness”
“I think more people won 75k compared to the amount people who could say they been TALKED by Lebron James.”….No SHIT!! Good lord, who does the writing for these post? Hope I don’t get TALKED for posting this….
