Just in time for the
release of the new “Star Wars” film, a young US basketball player harnessed his
inner Jedi to make an incredible last-gasp, game-winning shot.
With just under two
seconds left, the Austn Packers were trailing rivals Northfield by two points
in Tuesday’s game.
So, Northfield was up
55-53 with 1.6 seconds remaining and at the free throw line. After one miss,
coach Kris Fadness called timeout. “I just told them if he makes the second, we
have the chance to set up some sort of set last-second play, but if he misses,
you got to heave it.”, said head coach Kris Fadness.
The second free-throw
caromed off the rim and like Luke Skywalker dropping a torpedo into the
Deathstar’s thermal exhaust port, 16 year old junior forward, Oman Oman
launched the orange orb 80 feet across the court and somehow got it into the
basket for the decisive tree-pointer.
Video of the
breath-taking shot has gone viral, attracting those who believe in miracles.
