Watch: Hawks fan nets $10,000 with half-court shot
Get that man a uniform.
A Hawks fan nailed a shot from half court at Philips Arena Thursday night to win $10,000.
It’s the second time in two weeks that a Hawks fan has hit the shot from that distance in the Hawks promotion.
A fan identified as Norman made the shot Thursday and he did it his way, with some unorthodox shooting form. It was more like a heave, but it was a $10,000 heave.
The Hawks are 6-22 this season, prior to Friday night’s game against the Grizzlies in Memphis. Maybe Norman can help.
