“A Christmas Story” is a big movie in our household comes Christmas time. Yes, we’re one of those that watch it over and over again, so this is pretty dope to me. Remember the kid who got his tongue frozen stuck to a pole?! His name is Scott Schwartz and he hit an unbelievable half-court shot at a Denver Nuggets game.
Via TMZ:
Schwartz was brought on to the court Tuesday as a celebrity guest to goof around with the Nuggets mascot during a break in the action.
Things started off with the mascot sinking a crazy over the back half-court shot … and then he handed the rock to Schwartz — who NAILED a Kareem-style hook shot!!
Unfortunately, the shot wasn’t a part of a contest … so he didn’t win anything (though Schwartz says the Nuggets were nice enough to give him a t-shirt and a cranberry juice).
Scott tells TMZ Sports … there was NO WAY he thought he’d sink the shot on the first try — but says, “I was always an athlete.”
