Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon attended Thursday night's Nuggets game in Denver, which is typical. But what he did at the game was not typical.
The 2014 All Star was asked to attempt some backward half-court shots during a break in game action. At first he failed to make any, but Blackmon kept trying and on his last shot attempt, magic happened.

“It went in. I lost control of my body, muscle function. I went crazy,” he said during the telecast, adding, "That’s a real low-percentage shot.”
The Nuggets could have used Blackmon's skill set on the court as the team ended up losing to the Grizzlies, 102-101.
