    "Chances are, you’ve seen Scott Park’s attempt at a million-dollar half-court shot during halftime of Friday’s ACC Tournament semifinal between Notre Dame and Duke.

    By 5 p.m. Saturday, the original Vine — which I had filmed and posted — had been viewed 4.3 million times. You need to hear the other side of his story.

    “I’m happy to be alive,” Park told me Saturday afternoon. “I’m happy to even have a chance to shoot for a million dollars. I had no illusions that ball was going in.”

    Excellent story.
    If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

      For a couple years, because of playing multiple games of horse, I would have had a 50/50 shot at making a half-court shot...without the pressure of big bucks. I hoped for a chance back then.
      Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

        yeah, even in my 30s I made a lot of half-court shots at NBA arenas (with no crowd) and would generally hit the rim and/or backboard if I missed.

        but this is a very different story
