VIDEO: John Collins 'Makes' Impossible Half-Court Heave at With Help From Shot Clock and Backboard
By Jerry Trotta
There must have been something special in the air at the American Airlines Center on Saturday night, because the Atlanta Hawks were netting shots that simply should never be able to fall through the hoop. Shortly after Trae Young pulled off an incredibly difficult shot from behind the backboard, teammate John Collins -- thanks to the most impossible of charity bounces -- drained a halfcourt shot to close out the half against the Dallas Mavericks.

Bruh.
What was shaping up to be one of the most egregious halfcourt heaves of all-time (considering how uncontested Collins was), quickly morphed into a "basket" that NBA fans may never see again.
No, it didn't count, but still.

If you need us, we'll be watching that clip on a loop in an effort to comprehend the absurdity behind it.
Our guess is that it won't turn out well.
