According to a persistent Australian sports journalism narrative there exists some kind of magical connection between AFL and basketball. Often referenced is how Scott Pendlebury’s basketball background gives him Spiderman-like spatial awareness and how Patty Mills could have totally been a pro football player.
We can now add one more thing: this crazy as hell video of Australian Utah Jazz point guard Dante Exum (best sports name ever) kicking a Sherrin directly into a basketball hoop from way beyond the half court line.
A thousand points to you sir.
