Worlds Highest Basketball ShotCould this be the new world record for highest made basketball shot?

A kid from Finland hits the shot from 70 metres up in the air, which, if verified, would be a new world record.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, the Guiness Book of World Records said:

‘[There] is an existing record for the greatest height from which a basketball has been shot. The measurement was 66.89 m by Kyle Nebel of How Ridiculous in Perth, Australia, on 8 April 2011.

‘Nebel and three teammates from the How Ridiculous team of basketball trick shot artists spent more than two-and-a-half hours attempting shots from the top of a light tower at the WACA ground.

‘The Finnish claim remains unverified. We look forward to receiving their evidence so we can investigate.’

The video was filmed at a ski jump tower in Lahti, Finland. Check it out:You can see the current world record here:Via BBL Birmingham via Daily Mail.
