You know what I like about these guys, they are always humble, never cocky, and you don't hear about them getting in trouble on the news. I appreciate that.

The Dude Perfect Harlem Globetrotters rivalry is fun

[sleeves]

I read the TRUE STORY on that shot. It took him 16 attempts before he made it. YOU THAT STILL ISN'T THAT BAD FOR BEING THAT HIGH ? ANYONE ELSE AGREE ??

[armyvet]

You know you’re afraid of heights when your heart drops in your stomach while watching the 🏀 drop.

[billace]

Amazing. Not only the huge height (distance), was such a negative factor, the wind speed, the difficulty at that angle, and he made it!
Unbelievable. Good show!

"I'm gonna take the highest shot ever''

After watching all these young basketball trick shooters in other videos, i'm so happy to see one of the Harlem Globetrotters set the world record! I used to watch and love them when I was a kid 45 years ago!

Not only are the Harlem Globetrotters a class act, they are a class organization and have been so for decades! _Great Americans loved around the world!_

[NBAKKobeBryant]

Whoa! That’s amazing! The Globetrotters don’t disappoint.

[natebragg]

He didn't call backboard. Doesn't count, my ball

[fredex]

I feel sorry for the guy who had to run around clearing up all the balls from the other thousand attempts.

[hughdr]

Are they supposed to make us believe this was done on one take?

[TiberiumMineral]

"He's spinning the ball on his finger! Just take it! Take the ball!"

[williemaykit]

I have to check out the Globe Trotters next time they’re in Fort Wayne! I saw them as a kid in the 70s and met Meadowlark Lemon! They were so much fun. Good memories!

Dude Perfect: I have the highest basketball shot
Harlem Globetrotters: Hold my basketballs

[PhuongNguyen-oclw]

I wonder how many attempts he took to make that.

[anna_bortin]

I LOVE YOUR TRICKSHOTS HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS!!

[JudahMaccabee_]

So you guys understand how insanely hard this shot is and he got it after only 16 shots !! Amazing

Great sportsman and physicist, he used what we call in physics "Magnus effect", where the curved path of a ball is due largely to the ball's spinning motion (about its vertical axis) and the Magnus effect, causing a horizontal force that moves the ball from a straight line in its trajectory.
