It’s hard imagine being as excited for someone else to hit a half-court shot as LeBron James was Friday night against the Detroit Pistons. It wasn’t the prettiest chuck, but Michael Drysch’s earned $75,000 and a hug and tackle from James.
How bout my man Michael with the sky hook from half court for 75k large!!! #wow #awesomeness

Drysch had, after all, been flown to Miami from Illinois after he was selected by LeBron’s foundation to take the shot according to ESPN. What was James so excited for anyways?
