Blaz Mahkovic scored arguably the most difficult shot ever witnessed on a basketball court over the weekend.
With Union Olimpija Ljubljana well on their way to a massive win over Partizan Belgrade in the Adriatic league, Mahkovic got the crowd going late on with an unbelievable made shot.
After a team-mate had launched a three-point attempt that didn't even find the rim, Mahkovic launched himself at the ball as it was heading out of play.
In one movement Mahkovic managed to get his hand to the ball, keep his feet off the floor and fling the ball over the back of the backboard to drop into the net.
Olimpija were already 21 points up before the successful two point attempt, and went on to lose the game by 29, 87-58.
It was an attempt the likes of LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Kobe Bryant would have struggled with - maybe Mahkovic is on his way to the NBA...
