Jameer Nelson bounces passes his shot into the basket.

I guess Orlando does possess some type of magical powers. It's too bad that in the only time it works, it didn't count. At least Kevin Garnett wasn't around to block your shot after the play.

Taj Gibson scored on his own basketball against the Wizards.

Stupid Taj Gibson, the last thing that Washington needs is more help. Oh, wait. They are still the Wizards. Does Taj get an offensive rebound for tipping in his opponent's shot into his own basket though? This is a serious question.

A Heat fan won a hug from LeBron James and $75,000 for making a half court shot.

Last night, at the Detroit Pistons vs. Miami Heat game, Michael Drysch became the luckiest man alive. Not only was he given a chance to shoot from half court to win $75,000, he actually made the basket. On top of all of that, he won a hug from the best basketball player in the world from his favorite team. There is no greater moment for a NBA fan than winning a large sum of money and sharing that glorious moment with your beloved athlete. While I am not sure why he went with the unconventional hook shot, instead of the regular heave or underrated granny shot (so underrated), it worked and everyone is happy. Well, except for that guy in Atlanta, who landed a more difficult task of getting the ball stuck on the rim from half court and only got to fill his pockets with $5,000 dollars.

Congratulations Michael, you were lucky that Russell Westbrook wasn't around to block your shot like he did with the Denver Nuggets mascot, because that would be a real shame.

An Atlanta Hawks fan gets his Half Court shot stuck on the rim.

What a weird week in the NBA. On Tuesday, we had Jermaine O'neal getting his lay up to stop dead right on the iron of the hoop, and now we have this. The probability of get your shot stuck like that is a million to one and the fact that he did it from half court is incredible. The Hawks organization should seriously consider giving him more than a $1000 dollars. After all, he probably will have to split it halfsies to the announcer who obviously rigged the event. You can't fool me.

Joakim Noah's Tornado Shot Got Stuck.

Joakim Noah doesn't have the greatest shooting form in the league, but it works well enough to make him a somewhat respectable mid range shooter. I am totally joking, teams don't care if he shoots, it is one of those shots you allow for the benefit of your defense. And on Saturday, the Atlanta Hawks' decision to sag off Noah was justified. (NSFW language)

This is why you do not shoot a basketball with side spin, I don't even know how you can possibly pull it off without freakishly large hands. Everyone else has a backspin on their shot for a reason.
