Dad Scores Incredible Series Of Shots Across Basketball Court

A basketball-loving dad stunned fans at a local high school game when he made a series of shots that got further and further away from the basket – including a final half-court shot that sent the crowd wild.

Victoria, who captured the moment on video, said it took the organizers 10 minutes to find a swag bag for Andy, given the slim chances of him making all four shots in a row.
