Video: Roscommon man nails long-range, over the shoulder basketball shot like a boss

We’re calling this lad ‘the Loughglynn Le Bron’.

We thought we were safe in saying that Roscommon isn’t exactly a basketball stronghold, but that was until we got wind of an amazing trick shot from a member of Loughglynn United Football Club today.

That’s right, football.

Barry Nolan had a bit of time to spare before a gym class lately and after a few soccer skills (with a basketball) to warm up, he then launched a dinger from downtown, over his shoulder and into the far basket as if it was the easiest thing in the world.

Tekkers.

Hat-tip to Barry’s cousin Ross Nolan for sending this our way.

You may remember Ross as the star of the show at the 2013 All-Star awards, having blagged his way into a photograph with the four Mayo award winners.
