You Have to See This Kid’s Amazing Basketball Shot to Believe It

Eighth Grader Sinks Amazing Backwards Basketball Throw

YouTube

He’s not even in high school yet, but Matt DeMember’s made a very big splash with an incredible, nothing-but-net backwards basketball throw.

The eighth-grader heaved the ball over his head and sunk it during a church youth basketball game in Maryland, beating the buzzer and sending the crowd into a tailspin. ESPN’s SportsCenter got hold of the video and tweeted it out on Thursday, declaring it a “MUST WATCH.”

See the amazing throw for yourself:

  Ditto’s on that comment. That’s the first thing I notice. It was like there was only one team and they all were friends.

Good for the kid, hey, 30 years ago, we would never ever heard of this, Thats part of the problem now, everything is online. Sad. That boy will never forget a special moment in his life. And here we are, debating whether is was skill , or luck. Frankly, I do not care, it was special for him, and I respect that.

The fat tall kid who made the shot was much taller than the kid blocking him. Why did he need to shoot backward?

  Watch the video closely, He had been turned by the defense and did not have time to turn back toward the basket. Knowing that there was no time left on the clock, he just tossed it up in a “Hail Mary” throw, and it went in!

The fat kid actually won the game. What sad times have we come to, where the 80s “B Movies” are coming true….

The next thing you know is the nerds will take over Student Council’s, Occupy, and breaking Social Security because of Oby forgiving all of their college student loa…….uhhhh…..crap.

We need to get back to how human kind and nature intended. The strong and beautiful rule all, and the nerds and pigs speak only when spoken to. It’s a sad time when a bull seal lesbian is allowed to speak out more than a college football starting Quarterback. We need to coach our children back to the correct way of life. Cracking skulls of nerds with class rings, and the cheerleader table shunning the pigs to their own table by the bathrooms. This whole ‘tollerance’ thing is for the nerds….I mean birds.

  You know whats amusing? Aside from your ignorance of evolution, the fact that “nerds” are now becoming more popular and superior. The reason for this is evolutionary, the smart people of the world built all the modern marvels and luxuries we enjoy today, not the typical quarterbacks or cheerleaders. I’m also willing to bet that more than once in your life you were looking to a nerd/geek for help and they were kind enough to give it. Yet here you are, bashing them like a true a$$hat.

Of course it didn’t matter because very few youth leagues keep score anymore.

As your gay Marxist ruler I find this video disturbing,if you’ll notice the loyal subject who made the shot was morbidly obese.Accordingly I’m ordering my beard to look into this major infraction. Under my regime such gluttony won’t be tolerated,unless it’s my beard who’s chowing down on ribs and cheesy fries then it’s okay.
