Trick Shots

We don't mean to come off as insensitive, but we have all seen countless people take self-shots of themselves for their Facebook profile pictures featuring the dreaded "double chin." Well, here's a simple technique to get that perfect head shot. It's so simple, it will make you wonder why you never thought about it!

Wagner college basketball player Josh Thompson wanted to do something memorable in the dunk contest held during his school's Midnight Madness event last Friday night. So the six-foot-five forward lined his mom up in front of the basket, with her back facing him, and then jumped over her on his way to completing a slam dunk.

The extremely accurate foursome of Dude Perfect are pioneers of the trick shot video genre, and hold what is believed to be the world record for longest basketball shot. In their latest effort, they challenge frisbee wizard Brodie Smith to a trick shot showdown.

Videos featuring football or basketball trick shots are little played out at this point, but a football trick shot video starring  Abraham Lincoln? Well, that's still worth a look.

11-year-old Nate Smith's amazing 89-foot hockey shot into a goal only a half an inch wider than the puck itself netted him $50,000 during a charity event in Faribault, Minnesota. But there was a catch: the name on the raffle card that had been selected to attempt the trick shot was actually that of his identical twin brother, Nick.

Trick shot videos are popping up all over the internet these days and Phoenix Suns guard Steve Nash makes a pretty unbelievable one that combines both his basketball and soccer skills (he was a footie star as a youth, FYI) in this ad for Chinese athletic apparel company Lu You. This definitely isn't a guy you'd want to play in H-O-R-S-E. Now the question is, did he make it in one take?
