A lofty goal

Hammer Harrison, who plays for the Harlem Globetrotters, may have outdone himself at this year’s World Trick Shot Day, says the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC]. The basketball trickster, who holds the record for the longest underhanded basketball shot [84 feet 8.5 inches], made what some are calling the tallest jump shot. It was a slam dunk for Hammer as he parachuted from a plane at an altitude of 13,000 feet sinking his basketball into a hoop before safely hitting the ground. Last year, hoopster Harrison “dunked off the Stratosphere in Las Vegas, a shot of over 850 feet” on the Globetrotters’ 3rd Annual Trick Shot Day.
