This stunning clip came from a college basketball game in the USA where Kentucky power forward James Young scored the most improbable of baskets.

Racing to save a loose ball headed for the first row of seats, Young flung the ball behind his back and up in the air as he fell out of bounds. Against all odds, the one-handed no-look heave fell into Kentucky's own basket, giving opponents Montevallo two points and Kentucky an instant viral video.

It was a classic case of good hustle gone wrong.
