Jonathan Kuminga was making an attempt to throw a primary courtroom go to teammate Jock Landale on the finish of the third quarter within the Atlanta Hawks vs. Dallas Mavericks recreation on Wednesday evening when one thing wonderful occurred: he by accident hit one of many longest pictures in NBA historical past.
Kuminga couldn’t imagine it, and instantly put his arms on his head in shock. Landale instinctively held his arms near his chest in order that nobody might accuse him of interfering with the ball. The Hawks reside proper for the time being — their 135-120 win over Dallas was their eleventh straight victory — and this shot proves it.
You must see each angle of Kuminga’s shot. Thankfully, this video that the Hawks — or excuse me, the HaWWWWWWWWWWWs — tweeted through the win has all of them. That is the eighth longest shot in NBA historical past, and Kuminga didn’t even imply to hit it. Unbelievable.
The Hawks received Kuminga on the commerce deadline. I preferred the transfer higher for the Golden State Warriors on the time with the addition of Kristaps Porzingis, but it surely’s clear Kuminga actually simply wanted a change of surroundings. Kuminga had 16 factors and 5 rebounds off the bench within the win. His numbers are a bit higher up to now in Atlanta in comparable minutes, and will probably be fascinating to see if he’s a part of their long-term plans this summer time.
Both manner, Kuminga already has a legendary second as a Hawk. Atlanta could by no means lose once more in the event that they’re making pictures like this.
