I don't find it hard to believe. People make half court shots.

Suppose there's a 1 in 50 chance you'll make one. Then there's a 1 in 6,250,000 chance that you'll get 4 in a row, assuming each person has an equal shot.

With practice, I have no doubt you could make it 1 in 25 per person, or 1 in 390,625 overall. On any GIVEN attempt, that's small, but I bet people have been recording and attempting things like this for long enough that 390,625 is a paltry number.

It's cool to see, but I don't see the need for skepticism every time someone does something on the internet that you don't think you can do.

Really? That's what we're going with? Jesus = math?

Meh. Fine.
