This might be the first time I’ve ever written about basketball in the 11+ years I’ve been writing The Adventure Blog. Let’s face it, it isn’t a sport that anyone would call “extreme” or the least bit adventurous. But, this video was so good that it was definitely worth sharing. It takes us to the top of the 200 meter (660 foot) Maletsunyane Falls in Lesotho, Africa, where trick shot artist Derek Herron made an impressive basket into a hoop stationed below. You’ll just have to watch to see it unfold, but it is pretty spectacular to say the lest. The views along the way aren’t bad either.
