ABSTRACT
The lead pass to Marvey’o Otey was thrown too far. Otey, playing for William Byrd High School in Vinton, Virginia, on December 9, 2013, chased the ball down but only had enough time to get his right hand on the ball and whip it behind his back. Then Otey’s momentum carried him out of bounds and through an open door out of the gym and into a school hallway. Hearing the crowd cheering, Otey thought his desperate save must have been grabbed by a teammate. Only later did he learn that his save had gone in the basket for one of the most outrageous three-point baskets ever.
