The Legendary Shots are a group of basketball fans who go to great lengths to get the ball in the net – literally.
The Alabama friends recently scored a basket from around 150 feet – potentially a new world record – but it was actually the method of the shot that pleased them more than the distance.
The nine-strong gang built a wooden catapult which they used to fire the ball across a street and through the rim.
It took them most of the winter to draw up plans for the catapult after seeing one on YouTube, and then make good on the blueprints by building it.
It cost around $300 to build and is powered by a pair of 110-pound springs, according to Yahoo! Sports.
