In the second time in as many games, an OKC fan hit a half-court shot and was awarded $20,000. Except this time, the fan got a special congratulations from HOVA himself, Jay Z, who was sitting court-side with his wife, Beyonce. We’re not sure what he was more excited about.
For a small-market team like the Thunder, they can’t afford to keep paying out $20,000 for every home game, so look for a more enfeebled selection for the Thunder’s next home game.
Still, this is a pretty cool moment, especially just a couple nights after another fan hit a 20K half-court shot in the last Thunder home game.
SI’s Ben Golliver tweeted this nifty stat about the accuracy of Thunder fans on half-court shots since March last season.
Thunder fans are 5-for-22 (22.7 percent) on half-court shots since March 5.
