World's longest basketball shot

[BillyVance 35]

I know the title is subjective, but this happened in Birmingham, Alabama from the observatory deck of the Vulcan statue, which is the world's largest cast iron statue.

It took them about 2 hours to finally get the shot, and relay the balls back up through the elevator!

For you ladies, you get to see Vulcan's naked ass from the ground shot.

You expect me to believe that after throwing it that far, the ball makes it, hits the track and only bounces 5-6 feet back up? Cmon man!

Like I said, it's subjective. The deck at the Vulcan statue is pretty high. Maybe the only way to compare is how long the ball's in flight between the two... Or measure the vertical and horizontal distances on both.

I looked at the list of videos on youtube and there's a ton of "world's longest..."

The group from Dude Perfect (the guys from the video I posted) made it on ESPN and a lot of news stations for their shot. Doesn't make it the longest, but that video did a lot of walking for them.
