possibly the most flawless jump shot ever?

Back in the day on times when I would light it up in pick up games, I found myself blinking at the basket... sort of like taking a picture of the hoop and then blinking my eyes just prior to taking the shot. It was a like being in as zone this technique, I couldn't repeat this any day I choose, just sometimes. Weird, but some good memories nevertheless.
