There are long baskeball shots, and then there are loooong basketball shots. Kyle Nebel recently sank one of the latter.
Nebel, an Australian, was recently recognized by Guinness World Records for swishing a basketball shot from the greatest height. The sharp-shooter scored from 219 feet, 5 inches (66.89 meters) from the top of a light tower at the Western Australia Cricket Ground.
Nebel and three teammates from the 'How Ridiculous' team of basketball trick shot artists spent more than two and a half hours attempting shots from the tower before his successful attempt.
