From Larry Brown Sports:
Making a half-court shot is difficult enough as is, but it’s even tougher when you’re going underhanded. But that didn’t stop Senator Scott Brown (R-Mass.) from delighting the kids at the Hyannis Youth and Community Center by knocking down a shot from long range on Friday.
According to Cape Cod Today, Brown was in Hyannis meeting with officials from the center. They say he toured the facility and then stepped on the basketball court with third-grade students from the Barnstable Community Horace Mann Public Charter School.
The students lined up to attempt half-court shots, but none of them made it. That’s when Brown stepped up and nailed his.
The only downside is Brown won’t get a free car out of it, though he does get some nice publicity.
