Andre Drummond hits 71-foot buzzer-beater, the longest shot in eight years image

Pistons center Andre Drummond is pretty effective around the hoop. But outside the paint, he is far from effective — he is a career 3-for-10 3-point shooter and a 38 percent shooter from the line. Which made his shot during Monday night's game against the Raptors really, really surprising.

According to ESPN Stats and Info, it was the longest NBA field goal in eight years.

The Pistons still managed to lose the game. But Drummond managed to put himself in company of LeBron, something that has probably never happened before and will probably never happen again.
