Glorious Trick Shot: Two Flips, Two Baskets

Kevin Libertowski is a basketball trick shot artist, but even he was astounded that this one worked.

I made this shot from a trampoline over 60 feet away from the hoop I was shooting on. The shot starts off with a ball in my hands and another in between my legs. I then back flip releasing the ball in my hands towards the hoop, then go immediately into a front flip while exchanging the ball from my legs to my hands, then wait to rotate around a bit and shoot the second shot at the hoop while still in my front flip. Each shot reaches the hoop at the exact same time colliding inside the net for a double swish.

It would have been tragic if any of the cameras had failed on this one shot. Yes, he made many attempts before getting it just right. -via Uproxx

Before electronic watches were common, mechanical watches were wound with a stem at the 3:00 position. They were always on the left wrist so you could reach the stem.

I'm right handed and have always worn my watch on that hand. And regardless of handedness, the fly on a pair of men's pants is always on the right hand side so it's going to be easier for anyone to zip it right handed.

More likely, the whole thing was a set-up and four separate tips were left with different members of the force to get them all out of the way for the evening and create doubt within the system.
