Monta Ellis' Backwards Trick Shot VIDEO: Nails Absurd Basket

Plenty of NBA stars like LeBron James and Dwight Howard make amazing trick shots all the time, whether it's before the game or just at practice. But Golden State Warriors guard Monta Ellis took it to the next level, swishing a backwards, over-the-shoulder shot from the players tunnel. It's hard to get more ridiculous than that. Scroll down for the video.

If he paid half as much attention in English class as he did measuring the trajectory for this shot, I might have been able to understand more of this.

That's my man! The Warriors record this year is dismal, but I love the players on this team. They have tons of heart but are young and learning. Monta is simply phenomenal and in person at Oracle Arena he usually appears as a blur. WHAT A SHOT!

Don't forget to also learn the pimp-walk that he does afterward.
