It’s the last minute of the game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Toronto Raptors. Toronto is trying to keep the Lakers from jumping out to a big lead, and they’re doing their best to do just that. But what’s going viral right now is a viral Lakers fan’s shot at the half-court. The winner of the big shot at the end of the game is going to take home $100,00. With the whole arena on edge, the fan takes a deep breath, walks back, and gets ready to take the game-winning shot.
When the shot hit the floor, it seemed like the man himself took a few seconds to register what had just happened, and then he was off like a light switch. It was a good night for the Lakers fans, but not so great for Austin Reaves, who scored just 7 points (with 2:38 left in the game) and watching him take a shot from the half-court has caused the X to erupt in jokes. One user even asked LA to “sub him for Reaves.”
