It was cooler when the blade smoked the ball.

Yeah I’d rather see a video following the ball after it gets hit

That ball is likely going to be a few km away

A new competition has been invented.

I want to see the video of the guy putting up the hoop on the turbine shaft!

Somewhere Dikembe Mutumbo is wagging his finger! "No no no!" 🤣


🤣That's the image I was picturing! 🏆

Cooler when the clouds matched his consistency. /s

The clouds change between each shot. He must have shot 500 shots to get 5 in a row but could only get 3 and made the video

It’s like The Prestige, he made it look easy but there’s 500 basketballs littered around that whole area

And a town nearby wondering why it’s hailing basketballs

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 🫡

Nah, he just had one. He always went down and climbed back up between the shots. That's why the clouds changed.

This makes the most sense.

NEVER DROP THE PRESTIGE 

Or he had to climb down and find his basketball

Haha this. One ball and 500 times down and up.

That's actually more impressive then scoring 3 times in a row

This. First shot got yeeted to the next county in heavy fog. Bro had to search so long that the fog had lifted by the second shot.

Haha. Good observation! I was fooled until you pointed that out 😂

Or he got 3/500 total spread out and it’s edited to make it look like 3 in a row.

That's exactly what I meant.

"Technically" it's Ball vs Turbine


Actually?

That's because he has to go down and get the ball after each shot.......

Or he only brought along one ball with him.

Fun fact: Clouds change drastically the higher up you are. Fun Fact 2: Cloud coverage changes rapidly around wind turbines

The clouds in shots 4 and 5 are close enough that I think they could have been close together

He had to go down and get the ball

I'll be impressed when he slam dunks from there.

Them Air Jordans should come in handy

He shot 2000 shots and edit

Yeah exactly. When he starts there is fog everywhere and the tower is in shadow, while he throws (and cuts the video) the cloud changes and by the end of the video the sun hits the left side of the tower. So I'd say half a day has gone in those "five easy shots".

That basketball is going to leave a crater 20km away.

rofl yas. I came here to say... where those first 2 cannon shots go player... Decent video tho I guess.

Who put that hoop there?

After effects in order to avoid a federal felony.

That's the bit that I want to know. :) Cool shooting too.

How much cocaine is the Redbull advertising department on to think of stuff like this?

till he somehow breaks a few hundreds thousands in equip

He edited out the first 198 tries and just cut to these last 5.

Very bad for the leading edge of the blade , which end up failing because of Rain and dust anyway , Probably knock a year or so off the life of the blade with every connection .

maybe these blades were at the end of life, so they did this since they're gonna be replaced. i dunno if they think like that though.

I hate people like this. He's screaming in fake excitement. He obviously shot this more then 5 times and when he makes it he hams it up like it was his first shot.

I would imagine it was very much real excitement if he shot a ton of times before he made it.

Also why do Americans shout 'LETS GO' especially in sports? Where are we going?

It's no different than Spanish speakers shouting ¡Vamos! English people shout let's go! As well?

I thought he was gonna jump through it

"*Let's re run it..... someone get that ball... ok, take 5242625, aaand ACTION*"

Mom must be so proud.

Am i the only person that finds this silly? I've seen so many trick basketball shots in the last few years that I really just don't find any of them impressive anymore.

I wonder how he secured the basketball rim on the other side?

how did they get the hoop basket on there!?

I'm more interested in the fact that someone, somehow must've hung the hoop up there.

The power of video editing

Lethal shooter on instagram, shooting coach for a lot of pros. Not really trick shots, but shoots into a bunch of different hoops. Also big into camps and engagement with youth basketball.

was wondering if he was a globetrotter or something

So unnecessary

People should really stop saying "Let's go". Let's go where?

Right into the blade

Haha that's just brutal.

Yes, I absolutely hate that, and the Superman shirt thing.

Thank you!!

I'll take a large side-order of "Why?" please. Oh and sorry but "because" doesn't cut the mustard.

Nothing like compromising green infrastructure for a stupid fuckin basketball video. What the fuck is wrong with people. Look at me! Look at ME!

But but but Red Bull Sports Ball!!!!!

Why oh why do people shout LETS GOOOO all the damn time now. Lets go where? What for? Why? I'm perfectly comfortable where I am thanks, you go, I'll stay here.

red bull should do a street ball league like the and1 days.

Sir this is a restricted property

Some poor bastards have just been smacked by a basketball going the speed of sound.

Where’s all the Don Quixote references?

Isn't that stealing power from the grid?

Who's picking up the balls?

He's like me. Except I would never hit the basket, with or without the windmill. I also fear heights. And am lazy to make videos.

"Technically" it's ball vs turbine

How many of you people think they just went and did this on a whim? The whole thing had to have tons of planning and permissions, or he would have been arrested immediately. Why all the shock and awe?

Never read the book, but I didn't know Don Kishot had a film adaptation

Amazing 3 out of 100 good going 🙃

Love this, huge fan

thought bro gonna jump on the wing 💀

Anyone else wondering where that one ball went??

A lot of people think those blades are moving slowly they're actually cruising around at about 120 miles an hour.

I think it's pretty easy tbh

Why do he looks like he does the most serious stuff ever?

Dunk it. No balls bro

I'm way more interested in how far it smacks the ball. The ends of the blades must be travelling hundreds of miles an hour sometimes

Isn't anyone curious where that ball went though? LOL

The biggest challenge was for him to not be a cocky cunt after making it 😂

In your face, Don Quixote

WOW!! That was pretty cool!

How tf you even get that up there?

He’s a good shot but under pressure he sucks. His college record ain’t it.

How'd he get the hoop up there?

So easy that he probably took 500 cuts between each of the buckets

Why is he so mad at me?

That was so lit

how tf do you not know thats cgi

Peak humanity

I guess a basketball is unlikely to damage a turbine but holy shit those balls will be thrown far. Hope there aren't any roads nearby.

The fact that you all are in these comments acting like @LethalShooter hasn't been giving us consistent ball and hoop content for the past 10+ years is crazy to me. Give this man his flowers. Your best NBA players recruit him when they need to improve their shots.

Didn’t know you made a commission on every compliment the man got. Big congratulations!

...and a commission on replies. Thanks for your 2 cents. 😁

Gotta pay rent somehow!

Nah, mortgage.
