Watch This Guy Sink A Record-Breaking 201-Metre Basketball Shot From Atop A Waterfall

Video: From the free-throw line – a distance of just 4.6m – I can maybe put the ball in the basket about 20 per cent of the time. I’m not NBA material, but the league might consider drafting the guys from YouTube’s How Ridiculous, who just nailed a seemingly impossible 201.422m basketball shot.

There isn’t a human alive who could throw a basketball that far (a football field is about half this distance) so the guys took advantage of the towering Maletsunyane Falls in Lesotho, Africa, to pull off this trick shot. The group doesn’t mention how many missed attempts there were while they tried to snag this Guinness World Record, but they apparently spent six days at the falls, so their shooting percentage was probably nothing to brag about.
