Don't try this at home

I've spent a lot of time both riding a bike and shooting a basketball, and this is beyond cool:

attempts

I dunno, but I think I could attempt that for the rest of my live and the only thing I'd do is crash the bike...:)

Moving toward the basket while shooting makes that already crazy shot even much harder. I don't watch a lot of NBA, but I've seen him play and he's a great shooter. His father was an excellent NBA player and his brother just hit his first MLB home run.

Put all of the NBA players on bicycles, rules saying no feet touch the court.
Just the thing to even the playing field for players of more-normal height.
Making a basket while doing either a front or rear wheelstand would be double points.
Imagine the sort of "Globetrotters" team that might evolve from the new venue!
