McHenry man hits $75K half court shot, gets hug from LeBron
MIAMI (AP) — A 50-year-old computer technician from McHenry made a half-court shot to win $75,000 and a hug from LeBron James.
As part of a contest sponsored by James' foundation, Michael Drysch hit a one-handed hook shot from midcourt between periods of Friday's game between the Miami Heat and Detroit Pistons.
"It was unbelievable," Heat guard Dwyane Wade said. "The place erupted. It sounded like it did when we were in the Finals. It was a great moment."
