Epic Win: Man Hits $75K Shot, Gets Tackled By LeBron James

Which is better? Getting a tackle-hug from LeBron or $75K?

Basketball fans, as well as NBA players were in shock when Michael Drysch nailed a one-handed hook shot on Friday’s Heat-Pistons game. Following the third quarter, Drysch hit the shot like a professional, winning $75,000.

To add potential injury to excitement, Heat superstar LeBron James ran up to Drysch and bear-hugged him—ecstatic about the win. As they tumbled on the floor in jubilation, all Drysch could do was pat the 6’8’’, 249lbs basketball player on the back. Drysch was selected to take the shot through James’s foundation. “Nice way to meet somebody,” Drysch, a computer technician from McHenry, Ill said. “I can’t believe it.” (New York Post)
