The World's Farthest Basketball Shot

2010-08-03T22:40:10.029Z

An hour and a half into their attempt to hit the longest trick shot they've ever tried, members of the Alabama-based Legendary Shots wondered if they might have dreamed up an idea too difficult to pull off.

Time after time, they shuttled basketballs by elevator to 17-year-old Evan Sellers on a 134-foot-high platform near the top of Birmingham's famed Vulcan monument. And time after time, the Pinson Valley High School quarterback launched shots that clanged off the rim or narrowly missed the basket set up on the ground below.

Time after time, they shuttled basketballs by elevator to 17-year-old Evan Sellers on a 134-foot-high platform near the top of Birmingham's famed Vulcan monument.
