LeBron James tackles a Miami Heat fan after he made a one
handed hook shot form half court to win $75,000.
It was just another home game for the Miami Heat on Friday
as they played the Detroit Pistons. But for Michael Drysch, a 50 year old computer
technician from Illinois,
it is a day he will never forget.
Drysch was randomly selected from a drawing to take the half
court shot by the LeBron James Family Foundation. Before taking center court
during a time out in the fourth quarter, a friend told Drysch to “put some spin
on the ball”. Drysch got more than spin, he got nothing but net. American
Airlines Arena went nuts watching the shot of the night! But it was really the
tackle of the year that left fans jumping up and down.
LeBron James left the team huddle and leaped on to Drysch in
excitement. LBJ’s was cheesing from ear to ear as if he just hit the game
winner of the NBA finals. How can there be any LBJ haters out there after
watching his excitement? This was a raw emotion, a pure reaction, and the true
colors of one of the greatest players to play the game.
It’s amazing to witness the difference a ring can make. LBJ
is finally enjoying playing the game without the pressure to prove he’s not
just another millionaire taking his talents to South Beach.
When was the last time you saw an A list athlete get THAT excited for a fan?
Years from now Michael Drysch won’t remember what he spent
the $75,000 on, but he will never forget being tackled on center court by
LBJ. The tackle wasn’t just a memory for Drysch, but a great moment for the NBA
and one of the best celebrations by a professional athlete.
