Edit: Mathking and Eric, good point. This actually seems more realistic (albeit as far as this goes)
I used to play basketball with him during our freshman year, and I would remember us attempting to make 1/2 or even 3/4 court shots. I of course couldn't make it, for I wasn't good with throwing with one hand, but I am sure he did...

But even with that, I would be so ready to hear the teams go "OOOOOHHHHH" over the triple robot balances!!!!!
