Some kid, hit 39/40 to win it! Same basketball, same distance from the line, same height of the basket.... It's NOT that hard!
BTW, on the 6 I missed, I knew instantly when the ball left my hand I had missed and knew where it was going too. Lack of concentration on my part. No excuse for not hitting 40/40, but I lacked focus on some attempts.
It's that simple.
No excuses. Period.
