Video: Ohio eighth-grader hits ridiculous basketball shot

By J.E. Skeets

This incredible three-quarter court flip shot by Brecksville-Broadview Heights Middle School's Aaron Shutway needs to be seen to be believed ... and even then I'm sure angry, bitter people will cry that the ball is computer generated. To which I say, easy there Michael Bay. It sure looks legit. But have a look and decide for yourself.

If Shutway wasn't the coolest kid in class before this viral video hit the web, he sure is now. In fact, I'm so impressed by this shot that I'm thinking of sending him my Sega Genesis, a few ALF Pogs, three weeks worth of lunch money and just calling it a day. I would suggest LeBron James(notes) — The King of the Trick Shot — do the same, except, you know, maybe give the kid some cool gear. Like a Skip-It or something.

    Anyone who has watched a pro or college woman's soccer game has seen them throw the ball in like that to get greater distance. Anyone who knows how to throw a ball in knows how straight of a line you can keep using two hands over the head. I wouldn't give up the lunch money or the pogs quite yet. Good job...but this isn't mind shattering awsome by any stretch of the imagination. Would be more impressive to see him make 2 in a row on a continuous take. They could have been filming him trying that for months.

    Since when did Lebron James become the king of the trick shot? The king of the trick shot is Steve Nash, and Dirk Nowitzki comes in 2nd.
