COLLIN Sexton, one of the hottest young basketball prospects in the United States, pulled off an amazing trick shot in the Bahamas recently by hitting a basket 220 feet below from the Royal Towers bridge at Atlantis, Paradise Island.

In a video posted by the Bleacher Report, the highly rated Georgia and USA under-17 point guard, is seen on the balcony outside the luxury Bridge Suite - one of the most expensive hotel rooms in the world - with fellow players on a Nike–sponsored trip. When he makes the seemingly impossible shot from 22 storeys up, it sparks wild celebrations. It is believed he needed a few attempts before getting the extraordinary shot right.

Sexton, who was voted Most Valuable Player as the United States won the under-17 world championship this year, has yet to choose which college he will attend in 2017, with Alabama the favourite among the 10 on his chosen list. He is described as "a dynamic scoring guard with deep range to make three-point shots both off the dribble and off the catch.”

He can now add the ultimate 'nothing but net' long range shot to his achievements.
