LeBron bear hugs middle-age dude who made half-court shot for $75K

1/26/2013

Ever wanted to see LeBron James warmly wrap his arms around a 50-year-old IT guy? Done. Michael Drysch nailed an amazing half-court hook shot at Miami’s AmericanAirlines Arena last night, and he won two prizes: a check for $75,000, and a tumbling bear hug from an ecstatic LeBron James. The hug may prove to be more memorable to Drysch than the cash, which he said would go toward paying bills and “getting his car fixed.” The lip balm company Carmex also matched it with a $75,000 in-kind donation to the Boys & Girls Club of America. So how about that? A good news story for everyone, except the Pistons. The Heat beat them, 110-88. [Source]
